    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario La neuropatia vasculitica spesso non è associata ad una ben definita malattia del collageno e la neuropatia periferica è la sola manifestazione della vasculite. Generalmente l'eziologia delle neuropatie vasculitiche non sistemiche è sconosciuta. Riportiamo il caso di una donna con un quadro clinico di multineurite, in cui la biopsia del nervo surale ha dimostrato una vasculite necrotizzante. Vi erano prove sierologiche di una recente infezione streptococcica. Proponiamo che la neuropatia vasculitica sia inclusa tra le possibili sequele dell'infezione streptococcica.
    Notes: Abstract Vasculitic neuropathy is rarely associated with a definable collagen vascular disease. Peripheral neuropathy may be the sole manifestation of vasculitis, and the aetiology is frequently unknown. We here report the case of a woman presenting mononeuritis multiplex, whose sural nerve biopsy was diagnostic of necrotizing vasculitis. There was serological evidence of preceding beta-haemolytic streptococcal infection. We assume that vasculitic neuropathy can be included among the possible sequelae of streptococcal infections.
