“…While Hervier et al regarded inflammatory cell infiltration in vessels without necrosis as vasculitis (non-necrotizing vasculitis), fibrinoid necrosis was considered requisite for the pathological confirmation of vasculitis in our study. Dahlberg et al incorporated the muscle biopsy into their diagnostic protocol for systemic necrotizing vasculitis, producing results comparable to ours with a sensitivity of 50% in 26 patients, although the sample size was roughly half that of our study (6). The former studies used unilateral muscle biopsies.…”
