AB  - Vasculitis,  defined  as  inflammation  of  blood  vessels,  is  a  feature  of  many  rheumatic  and  nonrheumatic  diseases  of  childhood.  This  chapter  addresses  only  those  diseases  in  which  vasculitis  plays  a  central  role  in  both  pathogenesis  and  clinical  presentation.  Criteria  used  for  establishing  a  diagnosis  of  vasculitis  in  adults  are  often  problematic  when  applied  to  children.  Recently,  a  consensus  was  reached  on  a  new  classification  of  vasculitis,  and  these  criteria  will  be  used  in  this  chapter.  Classification  of  vasculitis  is  based  on  the  size  of  the  blood  vessels  involved  or  the  pathology  of  the  lesions  (Table  200-1).  This  chapter  will  be  limited  to  the  more  commonly  seen  vasculitides  of  childhood.
