Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Research in the field of primary systemic vasculitides is an evolving topic. Advances in their diagnosis and management are quickly improving patient outcomes. In recent years, less invasive imaging studies have become available to assist with the diagnosis and treatment guidance of vasculitis, especially for those with large-vessel involvement. Advances in the understanding of immunopathogenesis, the search for biomarkers, the increased recognition of steroids’ toxicity, and the increased interest in clinical trials have advanced the use of targeted therapies that have revolutionized the management of vasculitides. To keep up with these advances, this Special Issue is dedicated to updates on the diagnosis and management of primary systemic vasculitides. Proposals in agreement with this broad topic are welcome. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: imaging studies on vasculitis, biomarkers, treatment approaches, patient outcomes, and epidemiologic studies.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Alicia Rodríguez-Pla
