Abstract

We developed a questionnaire to determine the findings of cutaneous arteritis (cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa) among dermatological experienced vasculitis specialists as certified by the Committee for guidelines for the management of vasculitis and vascular disorders of the Japanese Dermatological Association. Retrospective data obtained from all patients at 12 dermatological facilities between January of 2012 and December of 2016 were evaluated. Fever, cerebral hemorrhage, and cerebral infarction were found in more than 10% of cases during our follow-up period. Arthralgia and/or arthritis (37%), myalgia and/or myositis (21%), and peripheral neuropathy (33%) were the most prominent findings in the study. Systemic steroid treatment was administered in only half of these cases. We believe that such patients, who are originally diagnosed as having CA, can progress from CA to systemic polyarteritis nodosa if they do not receive appropriate treatment such as systemic steroid therapy.
