  • Clinical manifestations are varied, including fever, weight loss, and organ involvement.

Purpose:

  • To summarize the key aspects of periarteritis nodosa.
  • To highlight diagnostic and prognostic factors.
  • To outline current treatment strategies.

Summary:

  • The condition involves arteries >70-150 microns, with frequent microaneurysms in renal or digestive systems.
  • Common symptoms include weight loss, fever, livedo, myalgias, arthralgias, mononeuropathy, renal insufficiency, and cardiac failure.

  • An inflammatory syndrome and elevated white blood cell count are typical findings.

    • Impact:

    • Prognosis is guided by a five-factor score, with corticosteroid-based regimens achieving >60% 5-year survival.
    • For HBV-related periarteritis nodosa, rapid corticosteroid cessation combined with plasma exchange and antivirals yields excellent outcomes.
    • Effective management strategies improve patient survival and quality of life.
