title: Polyvisceral arteritis in chronic graft-versus-host disease: antiphospholipid-negative thrombotic syndrome mimicking polyarteritis nodosa.
abstract: A case of polyarteritis is reported in an 18-year old woman, occurring 2 years after an allogeneic bone marrow transplant. The clinical manifestations were similar to those of polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) with a wide range of organs involved including life-threatening cardiac and mesenteric problems requiring plasmapheresis and intravenous immunoglobulin (IgIV).
