The intensive studies of Zeek and her collaborators24have shown that several varieties of arterial lesions have been erroneously labeled as periarteritis (or polyarteritis) nodosa. According to her classification, the case described here is not truly one of periarteritis nodosa, lacking as it does the characteristics which she considers essential for that diagnosis, but should be labeled as one of necrotizing angiitis, subtitled hypersensitivity angiitis or...Bibliography1.
