What Is Vasculitis?
4. Infections
In addition to the symptoms mentioned, vasculitis is also associated with certain complications. One of these is infections, which can sometimes be rather severe. While infections are not necessarily a direct symptom of vasculitis, infections are often a trigger, meaning that the two conditions will often go hand in hand.
There are numerous different types of infection associated with vasculitis, one of which is pneumonia. This is a potentially serious lung infection that has the potential to cause respiratory failure. Sepsis is another potential complication, which is caused by a dangerously strong reaction to an infection by the immune system.
