Vasculitis of classification: Historical progression

Sevgi Bahad�r¹, Sava� Yayl�¹

Vasculitis is inflammation of a vessel wall. The systemic vasculitides represent a highly heterogeneous group of clinicopathological entities. In 1952, Zeek became the first author to incorporate a clinicopathological assessment based on the size of the vessels involved in the inflammatory process in her classification of necrotizing vasculitis. A number of alternative classification systems were proposed later. In this respect, different names were suggested to the same diseases, where as different diseases were referred by the same. During the Chappel Hill Consensus Conference in 1993, the classification proposed by a commitee experienced in the diagnosis of vasculitis based on the diameter of the effected vessels, is still valid.
