Hypersensitivity angiitis - what does this mean

Hypersensitivity angiitis is an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the blood vessels, causing inflammation and damage to the walls of the vessels. this can lead to a variety of symptoms, including skin rashes, joint pain, and organ damage.

What happens during the disease - hypersensitivity angiitis

Hypersensitivity angiitis is an immune-mediated disorder caused by an abnormal immune response to an unknown antigen. this leads to inflammation of the small blood vessels, which can cause a wide range of symptoms including fever, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, skin rash, and organ damage. the exact cause of the disorder is not known, but it is believed to be caused by an abnormal immune response to a virus, bacteria, or other environmental factor. treatment typically involves the use of immunosuppressive medications to reduce the inflammatory response and prevent further damage to the affected blood vessels.
