متن کاملThe role of pathology in the diagnosis of systemic vasculitis.
Pathologic processes are underlying defining features of systemic vasculitis. When these pathologic processes can not be observed directly, surrogate signs and symptoms of disease must be used to conclude that vasculitis is present in a patient and, if so, to determine what specific type of vasculitis is present. This review briefly describes the most defining pathologic features of giant cell ...
