HIV and vasculitis: case report.
Manifestation of vasculitis and HIV is now being increasingly being observed. However, clinicians need to be conscious of the possible direct association of this virus with vascular disease. It would appear that the nervous and musculoskeletal systems are most commonly affected. No systematic data exist on the benefit of pharmacological agents currently used and there is an axiomatic need to study these agents in terms of the risk/benefit.
