Drug-induced vasculitis: Clinical, histopathologic findings, and prognostic outcomes. A cross-sectional study in the inpatient setting

Background: Drug-induced vasculitis represents 10% of all causes of vasculitis, and 10-20% of all adverse drug reactions. Its most common feature is cutaneous vasculitis but it may have systemic involvement. There is scant information of this pathology in the inpatient setting. Aim: To describe the clinical manifestations, complications, management, and evolution of drug-induced vasculitis in an inpatient setting from a tertiary hospital in Chile.
