Applying information on vascular, inflammatory, and immune biology - advanced through recent studies or cell and molecular biology - to the problem of systemic vasculitis syndromes. "Systemic Vasculitis: The Biological Basis": criticaly reviews immune, inflammatory, coagulation, vasomotor, and infectious evidence; discusses the biology and pathobiology of blood vessels, immune mechanisms of vascular injury, and specific inflammatory mediators of tissue injury; examines vasculitis in the skin, heart, lungs, and central nervous system; and supplies the latest classification of vasculitis syndromes and state-of-the-art advice on therapy.
