Special Issue on Vasculitis and Myositis

Vasculitis and Myositis are both rheumatic diseases. Vasculitis is a group of disorders that destroy blood vessels by inflammation. Both arteries and veins are affected, with inflammatory cells infiltration around blood vessels, accompanied by vascular injury, including cellulose deposition, collagen fibers degeneration, necrosis of endothelial cells and muscle cells. Myositis is a general term for inflammation of the muscles, mainly involving the striated muscle, with or without a variety of skin damage, and may accompanying visceral damage.
