title: Systemic vasculitis: a critical digest of the recent literature.
abstract: Herewith we provide a critical digest of the recent literature on systemic vasculitis. In this manuscript, we reviewed all the articles published during the last 12 months on large-, medium- and small-vessel vasculitis and selected the most relevant studies regarding the epidemiology, pathogenesis and management of systemic vasculitis. In particular we focused the attention on giant cell arteritis, ANCA-associated vasculitis and cryoglobulinemia.
