Abstract

Rheumatoid Vasculitis (RV) is a protean, destructive inflammatory process that is centered on the blood vessel wall and is associated with substantial morbidity. Although rare, it is the most serious extra-articular complication of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Diverse and severe manifestations of this uncommon condition are a big diagnostic and management challenge. We describe a series of patients with the common diagnosis of RV, who received treatment and came for follow up in rheumatology inpatient department and vasculitis clinic of BSM Medical University, Dhaka. Studying these cases may help to develop insight into RV.
