Análisis histórico de las Vasculitis, su clasificación y propuesta para su entendimiento

Abstract: Las vasculitis sistémicas constituyen un grupo heterogéneo de cuadros clínicos etiológicamente inespecíficos, con o sin manifestaciones cutá-neas. Tradicionalmente han sido definidas como procesos clínico-patológicos caracterizados, por inflamación y dañodevasossanguíneos (vénulas, capilares, arteriolas de mediano y gran calibre), produciendo las manifestacionesclínicas deacuerdo con la región irrigada, asociándose a necrosis oatrombosis.

“…Existing classification systems are incomplete and difficult to use in the clinic, as they are not designed to be diagnostic criteria, but rather are more useful in distinguishing one type of vasculitis from another in populations of patients for whom a diagnosis of vasculitis is established [ 92 ]. For this reason, in 1993 we proposed a format for ordering vasculitides based on their pathogenesis, histologic features, and causal agents if known, with the intent of improving understanding of them without proposing a new classification scheme (Table 3 ).…”

“…In our experience, "primary" vasculitis seems to be uncommon in Colombia [ 41 ], although it does occur, including Takayasu's disease [ 42 , 92 ]. Since our review concentrates on cases with biopsy evidence of disease, the true frequency of primary vasculitis diagnosed on clinical, but not histological grounds, is certainly higher.…”
