Medline Plus Patient Education Tutorials: Vasculitis

The National Institutes of Health has put together a flash tutorial that will help you understand the basics about the medical condition known as vasculitis. It discusses the anatomy, symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and treatment of vasculitis.

There are 50 slides and
the tutorial takes about 10 minutes if you run the self-playing tutorial without questions. You can go a little faster if you run the presentation manually, but you might miss something.

This is an overview. For a more specific understanding about specific types of vasculitis and their unique symptoms and treatments, please visit the list of vasculitis diseases at the Vasculitis Foundation website.
