Childhood Vasculitis

Childhood vasculitis refers to a group of disorders that cause inflammation of the blood vessels in children. This inflammation can affect how blood flows throughout the body, potentially leading to a range of symptoms such as rashes, joint pain, and fever. The exact cause is often unknown but may involve the immune system mistakenly attacking blood vessels. Treatment typically includes medications to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms. While many children recover well, ongoing monitoring may be necessary to address any complications. Early diagnosis and intervention are important for better outcomes.
