Vasculitis Infectious Specific

Infectious vasculitis is an inflammation of small blood vessels - capillaries - with the formation of necrotic foci in places where they are localized, as well as arteries and veins. It is characterized by a long course and a tendency to recur. It can develop as an independent disease or as a symptom of an infectious disease.

**Infectious vasculitis** is an acute or chronic inflammatory response of blood vessels caused by infection. It occurs with primary damage to the vascular wall with the formation of blood clots, necrosis and the development of myocarditis (in some cases), thrombophlebitis and other complications in the form of infectious (pneumonia, meningitis), exanthemal and somatoform manifestations of the disease and depends on the specific route of infection. In this case, characteristic morphological changes in both the skin and internal organs are detected. The diagnosis of the underlying disease is made based on the clinical picture and the results of serological analysis of blood serum. In order to exclude lung damage, radiography or computed tomography is used; to identify possible complications, polycystoscopy of the bladder, echocardiography of the chest and abdominal cavity are used. The treatment is complex, using antibacterial and detoxification agents. The prognosis is serious; A fatal outcome is possible in diseases of the brain with the development of sepsis, as well as in immunocomplex bacterial (purulent) inflammation with dissemination of the process, damage to internal organs and involvement of the lungs in the pathological process. The disease belongs to the group of “angionopathies”.

What is **infectious vasculitis**? If you don't know, this is an acute or chronic inflammatory reaction in the blood vessels, causing an infection. More precisely, their inflammation. The main thing is attention. The very essence of the inflammatory reaction is that all living organisms actively resist the onslaught of any negative stimuli. An example of this is the often encountered banal “allergies”. So, vasculitis is a protective reaction of the body when it eliminates defects that have arisen in tissues, that is, in our case, in the blood vessels, or rather vascular muscles. Scientifically, this is called an “exudative reaction” and is the so-called:

*inflammation of blood capillaries*. Then the symptoms of this anomaly begin to appear immediately, immediately, without even having time to “swing” in their powerful offensive. And they are associated with a violation of the integrity of tissues, in this particular case - altered blood vessels. And then something unimaginable and almost incomprehensible to a healthy person begins.

As a rule, symptoms begin with minor signs in the form of the following general bodily sensations:

Body temperature rises (rare). A sharp decrease in blood pressure (as one of the main symptoms of the disease). The patient complains of mood swings, chills, nervousness, irritability. Joint pain may occur. As a rule, this is
