Systemic vasculitides: a critical digest of the most recent literature.

Herewith we provide our annual digest of the recent literature on systemic vasculitides. In this manuscript, we reviewed all the articles published during the last 12 months on large-, medium- and small-vessel vasculitis and selected the most relevant studies regarding the epidemiology, pathogenesis and management of systemic vasculitis. In particular, we focused the attention on giant cell arteritis, ANCA-associated vasculitis and cryoglobulinaemia.
