Virus-induced Systemic Vasculitides: New Therapeutic Approaches by Loïc Guillevin

“…In human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related vasculitis this strategy is also effective and does not jeopardize, like cytotoxic agents, the outcome of AIDS. In vasculitis related to HCV-associated cryoglobulinemia, plasma exchanges improve the outcome but the poor effectiveness of antiviral drugs is not able to favor, usually, a definite recovery of the patients and relapses are frequent.…”
