Abstract
Manifestation of vasculitis and HN is now being increasingly being observed . However, clinicians need to be conscious of the possible direct associati on of this virus with vascular disease. It would appear that the nervous an d musculoskeletal systems are most commonly affected. No systematic data ex ist on the benefit of pharmacological agents currently used and there is an axiomatic need to study these agents in terms of the risk/benefit.
