Vasculitis owing to infection.
Infections are a recognized cause of secondary vasculitis. A variety of pathogens have a propensity to involve blood vessels. Vasculitis, non-vasculitic vasculopathy, and mycotic aneurysms lead to infarction and hemorrhage of nervous system tissue. Treatment of infection-related vasculitis should include appropriate antimicrobial therapy directed against the offending pathogen, and appropriate management of cerebrovascular complications.
