Abstract
Vasculitis often presents a diagnostic challenge as the disease processes may have varied presentations. This article reviews some vasculitis-like "mimics," particularly emphasizing viral and bacterial infections, drug-related disorders, various malignancies, and other autoimmune disorders, all of which may have a similar clinical presentation. This article also highlights recent advances and the importance of accurate diagnosis and therapy.Entities:
