Abstract
Systemic rheumatoid vasculitis (SRV) is a rare but potentially serious systemic disease manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) characterized by the development of necrotizing vasculitis. The incidence of SRV appears to be decreasing possibly reflecting progress in RA treatment. The aims of this study were to review the clinical manifestations of SRV in a stable well-defined population during 2001-10 and to compare with our previous cohort (1988-2000) and also a cohort from 1975 to 1981.
