Especially the past two decades have seen renewed interest in the
vasculitides. In this volume an international expert group presents the
current state of knowledge and concentrates on principles of immune
modulating therapy. Drawing from their work in rheumatology, nephrology,
internal medicine, connective tissue disease and clinical immunology,
they present new concepts in classificiation, diagnosis and
pathophysiology of the vasculitides. Evidence from experimental and
clinical trials is reviewed, as well as the outlook for further
research.
