Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
The term large vessel vasculitis (LVV) usually denotes the spectrum of primary vasculitides that causes chronic granulomatous inflammation predominantly involving the aorta and its major branches.
The two major entities in this group are
-
giant cell arteritis (GCA)
-: affects older individuals (typically over 50) -
Takayasu arteritis (TA)
-affects: affects younger individuals (typically under 50)
There are, however, many other conditions that can potentially involve "largelarge calibre" vessels. These include:
- Hughes
Stovin-Stovin syndrome - Kawasaki disease
- Behcet syndrome
- rheumatoid arthritis
- syphilis
- tuberculosis
- isolated angiitis of the central nervous system
