Drug-Induced Vasculitis

Drug-induced vasculitis is a condition where certain medications trigger inflammation of the blood vessels. This immune response causes the vessel walls to become inflamed, which can lead to symptoms like skin rashes, pain, and sometimes organ problems. It’s usually caused by an allergic or immune reaction to the drug, and symptoms often improve after stopping the medication. Accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment are important to prevent potential complications.
