Poliarterite nodosa é uma vasculite necrosante sistêmica imunologicamente mediada que afeta vasos de médio calibre. Em alguns poucos casos, a doença aparece após uma infecção viral, mas na maioria dos casos não há evento desencadeante conhecido. As manifestações clínicas envolvem numerosos órgãos e levam a uma alteração geral do estado de saúde, incluindo rápida perda de peso, comprometimento de nervos periféricos, doença renal e problemas digestivos, como hemorragias, perfuração, apendicite e pancreatite. Artralgia está quase sempre presente e mialgia ocorre em metade dos pacientes. Anomalias cardíacas e cerebrais (cefalalgia) também são relatadas, assim como manifestações oculares e genitais (orquite). | |||
