چکیده
Background In 2006 Ozen et al proposed new diagnostic criteria for the classification of childhood vasculitides. The aim of this retrospective study was to describe the incidence of Wegener's Granulomatosis (WG), Polyarteritis Nodosa (PAN) and Takayasu Arteritis (TA) in Denmark during the period of 1976–1998. Furthermore, we wanted to classify them according to the Chapel Hill Classification Criteria as well as to the new consensus criteria and to compare if this altered the incidence of the different vasculitides.
