A detailed, clean, handwritten-style MBBS medical revision notes poster on white paper background about Rheumatology - Vasculitis. The notes should look like premium topper handwritten study notes with: TITLE at top: "RHEUMATOLOGY: VASCULITIS" in large bold letters with a colored banner/underline Organized into clearly labeled sections with colored headings: SECTION 1 - DEFINITION (blue heading): • Vasculitis = inflammation + necrosis of blood vessel walls → organ ischemia/damage • Heterogeneous group of disorders linked by destructive inflammation within vessel walls • Primary (idiopathic) vs Secondary (infection, drugs, CTD) SECTION 2 - CHAPEL HILL 2012 CLASSIFICATION (red/orange heading) with a neat table: Large Vessel: Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA), Takayasu Arteritis Medium Vessel: Polyarteritis Nodosa (PAN), Kawasaki Disease Small Vessel (ANCA+): GPA (Wegener's), MPA, EGPA (Churg-Strauss) Small Vessel (Immune Complex): IgA Vasculitis (HSP), Cryoglobulinemic Vasculitis, Anti-GBM Variable Vessel: Behcet's Disease, Cogan Syndrome Single Organ: Cutaneous Leukocytoclastic Angiitis SECTION 3 - PATHOGENESIS (green heading) with arrows showing mechanism: • ANCA-associated: Infection/drug → cytokine release (TNF) → neutrophil priming → ANCA binds MPO/PR3 on neutrophil surface → Fc-γ receptor + target antigen activation → O2 radicals + proteolytic enzymes released → endothelial apoptosis + vessel wall necrosis • Immune Complex: Ag-Ab complex deposit in vessel wall → complement activation → neutrophil infiltration → vessel damage • Granulomatous: T-cell mediated → giant cell granuloma formation (GCA, Takayasu, GPA, EGPA) SECTION 4 - VESSEL SIZE & LOCATION TABLE (purple heading): A neat table with columns: Disease | Vessel Type | Main Locations Affected GCA | Large artery | Temporal artery, aorta, ophthalmic artery → BLINDNESS Takayasu | Large artery | Aorta + branches, subclavian, renal (young Asian females) PAN | Medium artery | Renal, mesenteric, hepatic, coronary (NOT glomeruli, NOT lung) Kawasaki | Medium artery | Coronary arteries (children <5 yrs) → aneurysm GPA (Wegener's) | Small (ANCA) | Upper airways + Lungs + Kidneys (Triad) MPA | Small (ANCA) | Lungs, Kidneys, skin (no granuloma) EGPA (Churg-Strauss) | Small (ANCA) | Lungs + Asthma + Eosinophilia IgA Vasculitis/HSP | Small (IC) | Skin, joints, kidneys, GI tract Cryoglobulinemia | Small (IC) | Skin purpura, peripheral nerves, kidneys Behcet's | Variable | Oral/genital ulcers, eyes, vessels SECTION 5 - DIAGNOSIS (yellow/amber heading): Key tests listed: • ANCA: c-ANCA (PR3) → GPA; p-ANCA (MPO) → MPA, EGPA • Biopsy: GOLD STANDARD - temporal artery biopsy (GCA), skin/kidney (small vessel) • Labs: ESR↑, CRP↑, WBC↑, eosinophilia (EGPA), IgA↑ (HSP) • Imaging: PET-CT/MRA (large vessel), angiography (PAN - beaded pattern), echo (Kawasaki) • Urine: RBC casts → renal involvement SECTION 6 - TREATMENT (teal heading): • Large vessel (GCA/Takayasu): High-dose Prednisolone 1mg/kg/day + Tocilizumab (IL-6 blocker) • ANCA vasculitis (GPA/MPA/EGPA): Induction → Rituximab OR Cyclophosphamide + high-dose steroids; Maintenance → Rituximab/Azathioprine/Methotrexate • PAN: Steroids ± Cyclophosphamide; if HBV-associated → Antivirals • Kawasaki: Aspirin + IVIG (within 10 days) • IgA Vasculitis/HSP: Usually self-limiting; steroids for severe GI/renal disease • Behcet: Colchicine, steroids, Azathioprine EXAM TIPS BOX (pink box): ★ PAN = NO lung, NO ANCA, NO glomerulonephritis ★ GPA = c-ANCA (PR3); MPA = p-ANCA (MPO) ★ GCA → Temporal artery biopsy → SKIP LESIONS ★ Kawasaki → coronary aneurysm → main complication ★ EGPA = Asthma + Eosinophilia + ANCA vasculitis ★ IgA vasculitis (HSP) = IgA deposits = palpable purpura on buttocks/legs QUICK REVISION BOX at bottom: Mnemonic "WEG-MPA-EGPA = 3 ANCA vasculitides" GCA age >50 | Takayasu age <40 | Kawasaki age <5 Use colored pens style: blue, red, green, purple. Include small simple diagrams of blood vessel sizes. Clean white background, neat borders, looks like premium handwritten notes ready for MBBS exam prep.

Rheumatology Vasculitis Revision Notes
Here are your complete MBBS Revision Notes: Rheumatology — Vasculitis as a visual topper-style image! Here's what's covered:

What's Inside the Notes:

1. Definition

Vasculitis = inflammation + necrosis of vessel walls → ischemia/organ damage (primary vs secondary)

2. Classification — 2012 Chapel Hill Consensus

Organized by vessel size: Large → Medium → Small (ANCA-associated & Immune Complex) → Variable vessel

3. Pathogenesis (All Types)

  • ANCA mechanism: Infection → TNF → neutrophil priming → ANCA activates MPO/PR3 → O₂ radicals + proteases → endothelial necrosis
  • Immune Complex: Ag-Ab deposit → complement → neutrophil infiltration
  • Granulomatous: T-cell mediated → giant cell granuloma

4. Location Table

Each disease mapped to vessel type + exact organs (e.g., PAN = NO lungs, NO ANCA; GPA = upper airway + lungs + kidneys)

5. Diagnosis

ANCA testing, biopsy (gold standard), ESR/CRP, angiography (PAN = beaded), Echo (Kawasaki)

6. Treatment

  • GCA/Takayasu → Prednisolone + Tocilizumab
  • GPA/MPA/EGPA → Rituximab or Cyclophosphamide + steroids
  • Kawasaki → IVIG + Aspirin
  • IgA vasculitis → usually self-limiting

Exam Tips & Mnemonics

  • ★ PAN = NO lung, NO ANCA, NO glomerulonephritis
  • ★ GCA age >50 | Takayasu age <40 | Kawasaki age <5
  • ★ c-ANCA (PR3) = GPA; p-ANCA (MPO) = MPA/EGPA
