title: [Vasculitis].
abstract: The term "vasculitis" encompasses a heterogeneous group of clinicopathologic entities characterized by inflammation and damage of blood vessels. Many attempts have been made to classify vasculitis into categories that will facilitate patients diagnosis and management since the first attempt by Zeek in 1952. The classification scheme that will be used in this review was proposed by the 1993 Chapel Hill Consensus Conference and has been widely accepted.
