VASCULITIC ULCERS
Abstract
Vasculitis is caused by inflammation of blood vessels. It can affect any vessels from small sized vessels to larger ones. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment prevents the morbidity and mortality and improves the quality of life of the patients. We have outlined the various modalities of treatment of vasculitis in this article.
