“…Control of the viral infection is mainly based on the use of antiviral drugs with the current availability of potent agents. Other rare cases of PAN have been associated with nontuberculous mycobacterial infection [14], with cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa occurrence in the setting of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection also being described [35].…”

Vasculitides, a form of inflammatory autoimmune disease targeting the vessels, constitute an entity with significant morbidity and mortality. Infections have long been associated with vasculitides as a result of the incident immunosuppression following treatment induction and maintenance. Several microbial pathogens have been described as etiologic factors of infections in this patient population according to the type of vessels affected. Intense research has also been recently conducted in the interplay between vasculitides and certain viral infections, namely human immunodeficiency virus and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Of note, a plethora of scientific evidence is available regarding the role of infections as triggering factors for vasculitides. Among the main mechanisms implicated in this direction are the activation of B and T cells, the direct endothelial insult, the immune complex-mediated vascular injury, and the cell-mediated, type IV hypersensitivity vessel damage. Therefore, this review aims to summarize all the available evidence concerning this bidirectional interplay between infections and vasculitides.

A rare case of polyarteritis nodosa associated with nontuberculous mycobacterial infection

Abstract: Clinicians should be aware that cutaneous PAN can present with significant extracutaneous and constitutional symptoms which make it hard to differentiate from systemic PAN. The condition can also rarely be associated with NTM infections.
