Examination of disease severity in systemic vasculitis from the novel perspective of damage using the vasculitis damage index (VDI).
Assessment of disease severity in systemic vasculitis encompasses mortality, which is now uncommon, and morbidity, which is increasing in significance. Morbidity includes permanent scars or damage, an evolving concept offering a novel perspective which may be particularly valuable in chronic disease. We have developed a method for assessing damage in systemic vasculitis, but the relationship be...

متن کاملNeuro-Behçets in a Child
We describe a case of neuro-Behçet disease diagnosed in a 12-year-old girl. This patient presented with recurrent oral ulcers, incontinence, spastic gait, blurry vision, and asymmetrical lower extremity hypertonia. Extensive testing revealed punctate lesions through the central nervous system, vitritis, papillitis, and uveitis. A thorough infectious and neoplastic workup was negative. She was t...
متن کاملDamage occurs early in systemic vasculitis and is an index of outcome.
Because death after acute systemic vasculitis is now uncommon, alternative measures of outcome are required. A significant component of patient morbidity is disease-related damage, which can be quantified by the Vasculitis Damage Index (64 items in 11 organ-based systems). We investigated serially the time-course of damage in 120 patients with systemic vasculitis, to determine the earliest indi...
متن کاملDamage assessment in ANCA-associated vasculitis.
Antineutrophil cytoplasm antibody associated vasculitis has been transformed from life-threatening conditions to chronic relapsing long-term diseases as a result of significant advances in immunosuppressive therapy. Although mortality still occurs, it is much less frequent, with an average 5-year survival of over 70 %. In the setting of chronic conditions, it becomes increasingly important to m...
