[Vasculitis in children].
Vasculitis is a group of rare diseases of unknown etiology, characterised by inflammation and necrosis of blood vessels, contributing to various clinical consequences. The variety of clinical symptoms and presence of symptoms from various syndromes often make the diagnosis difficult. Until now no causal treatment has been established. In order to achieve a remission of the disease, corticosteroids and immunosuppressive therapy are recommended.
