Chron Respir Dis. 2005;2(2):75-84. doi: 10.1191/1479972305cd070rs.

Abstract

The diagnosis and management of SVV remains one of the most challenging clinical scenarios encountered by a clinician. Careful attention to detail and a thorough knowledge of the specific disorders, their therapies, and complications thereof is required to optimally care for these patients. The recent completion of a number of randomized, controlled, multicenter clinical trials has greatly improved our knowledge base and ability to care for vasculitis patient. The next decade holds even more promise.
