Abstract
Vasculitis broadly refers to inflammation of blood vessel walls. It can affect any size of vessel anywhere in the body and can therefore be associated with a wide variety of clinical conditions and presentations. Some patients may present as an emergency to their GP or to accident and emergency (A&E), others may have symptoms of more insidious onset, and present to primary care with a long history of vague symptoms. Awareness of these presentations and the potentially serious sequelae of many of the underlying differential diagnoses is essential in helping to direct patients to an appropriate secondary care setting for further investigation and prompt treatment.
