About the Case Presentation
The approach to small vessel vasculitis involves a comprehensive assessment, including clinical evaluation, laboratory tests, and imaging studies to confirm the diagnosis and identify underlying causes. Treatment typically focuses on immunosuppressive therapies, such as corticosteroids and cytotoxic agents, to control inflammation and prevent organ damage. In some cases, targeted biologic therapies may be considered. Early detection and intervention are crucial to prevent complications and improve long-term outcomes.
