Dear Eric,

One question. Why is the hematuria in small vessel vasculitis without casts?
Thank you for the great video

[magedabuldahab]

You can remember the vasculitis mimics by: ABCDEFG
A amylidosis, biopsy by congo red and detect light chain
B beurgers. Smoking as hell
C calciphylaxis. Renal failure
D DIC. Critical and bleeding PT&aPTT
E endocarditis echo& blood culture in drug abuser or one having abnormal valve
F fat emboli classically dislodging cholesterol after an angoigraphy
G Goodpasture, one of the highest mortality ever in medicine, I don't know what to do with

Thank you. I was blessed with Lupus vasculitis after gallbladder surgery a year ago in my stomach. It’s been rough.

Thank you Doctor. A layperson here who has done an enormous amount of reading to figure out what’s wrong with me. Saw my doctor, a dermatologist, a urologist and my cardiologist. I was at a loss but my cardiologist suggested vasculitis and referred me to a Rheumatologist. Finally. My appt is still six months away but I feel better knowing what I’m looking at. Thank you!

@K. NgL, I've had a overdue request for coagulation disorders for a while (including ITP).  A series on that will be coming once the chest X-ray series is done.

Thanks for the video! Training pre-Internet, I did not have these resources to learn/ review medicine. Thank you also for the systematic breakdown of different symptoms by vessel size and what to look out for.

I started getting itchy 5 days ago around the stomach. Next day I had red marks that I thought were animal bed bug bites. Next days got more itchy and spots spread and looked more red. Headaches started coming in to play too. Finally saw a doctor today and he said he thinks small blood vessel vasculitis. Prescribed me prednisone. Today was first day I took the pills. 4 more days to go.

11:50 vasculitis mimics, highest yield for clinical practice not exams

[Mazzawak]

Great Video as always Dr Strong, I wonder if Meningococcemia and Rickettsiosis shouldn't also be grouped in the Vasculitides mimics

[looneytunes]

I have Behcets syndrome/vasculitis. And a great set of Docs at hospital. Great explaining in video.

[piyushsonone]

Very knowledgeable presentation in essay way thanks 🙏

I'm surprised to see erythema nodosum listed as a common clinical feature in vasculitis. I'm a med student in Finland and our guidelines on erythema nodosum make no mention of vasculitis as an etiological factor. I made a quick search on the topic and found a paper explicitly stating that erythema nodosum is not associated with vasculitis (Schwartz et a; American family physician 2007, 75:695–700. PubMed ID 17375516). I didn't find any articles supporting an association between the two. Could you clarify?
