VASCULITIS MIMICS
Not every purpura is vasculitis.
Before labeling a patient as having primary vasculitis and initiating immunosuppression, consider important mimics such as infective endocarditis, cholesterol embolization syndrome, antiphospholipid syndrome, thrombotic microangiopathy, calciphylaxis, atrial myxoma, fibromuscular dysplasia, levamisole-associated vasculopathy, septic emboli, and malignancy-associated vasculitis-like syndromes.
Recognizing the red flags can prevent diagnostic errors, unnecessary immunosuppression, and potentially life-threatening consequences.
Which vasculitis mimic have you found most challenging in clinical practice?
