Researchers Seek the Best Methods to Maintain Remission in Vasculitis

Jason Liebowitz, MD, FACR  |  October 18, 2019

MADRID—During the 2019 European Congress of Rheumatology (EULAR), held June 12–15, speakers addressed the complexity of vasculitis in a Challenges in Clinical Practice session titled, How to Maintain Remission in Vasculitis. Although vasculitis appears in many varieties, one commonality exists among these related yet distinct conditions: When there is vital organ or systemic involvement, disease…

Case Report: Diagnosing, Treating Hepatitis B-Linked Polyarteritis Nodosa

Naveen Raj, DO, & Lisa Duncan, MD   |  September 17, 2019

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) associated polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is an increasingly rare vasculitis in developed countries due to advances in HBV vaccination and antiviral therapy. However, the condition does persist, and rheumatologists should consider it when evaluating vasculitis cases. Below, we discuss a case that illustrates the varied clinical presentations PAN can encompass. A high…

Study Probes Whether Belimumab Can Lower Vasculitis Relapse Rate

Catherine Kolonko  |  August 16, 2019

In an international clinical trial, adding the drug belimumab to standard maintenance therapy for patients in remission with vasculitis did not lower the relapse rate. The double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluated the safety and efficacy of belimumab as adjunctive therapy to maintain remission in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis (AAV). Results of the multi-center, industry-sponsored…

Case Report: Could Myocarditis + Shortness of Breath = EGPA?

Ambreesh Chawla, MD, Ashwini Komarla, MD, & Sujatha Vuyyuru, MD  |  August 16, 2019

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), also known as Churg-Strauss syndrome or allergic granulomatosis and angiitis, is a rare small- and medium-vessel vasculitis. This disease was first described by American pathologists Jacob Churg and Lotte Strauss in 1951.1 Although the vasculitis is often not apparent in the initial phases of the disease, EGPA can affect any…

Addicted to Learning: Can We Teach as Well (& Enthrallingly!) as Fortnite?

Philip Seo, MD, MHS  |  April 15, 2019

My nephew is an addict. These words do not come easily to me, but I have come to accept them as true. In retrospect, I should have recognized the telltale signs: He stopped picking up the phone when I call. He disappears and then re-emerges hours later, seemingly having done nothing. He has lost interest…

Research Shows Genetic Links in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis

Lara C. Pullen, PhD  |  March 19, 2019

CHICAGO—Ken Smith, MD, PhD, professor of medicine at the University of Cambridge, England, gave an update on anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) at the 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting. Although vasculitis tends to be defined first by vessel size, the clinical differentiation between the forms is not reliable, explained Dr. Smith. For example, granulomatosis with…
