Abstract | PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to assess the infections occurring in a series of 82 patients followed for a systemic necrotizing vasculitis and to determine potential risk factors. METHODS: RESULTS: CONCLUSION: Infectious events occurring in systemic necrotizing vasculitis are frequent and occurs early in disease course, and could be prevented with simple prophylactic measures. Vasculitis relapse and infection share similarities and this require permanent clinical vigilance.
