Notes:
Summary Hypersensitivity vasculitis is an autonomous form of this disease, attacking the minor vessels. It manifests itself either as an idiopathic condition or in secondary, symptomatic form following severe illnesses or as an oversensitivity reaction to certain drugs. Distinctions are drawn between a local, a systemic and a simultaneously local and systemic progression. The problems of diagnosis and therapy are described for a complicated case in the acute generalization phase. Successful treatment of this severe form of the disease requires close cooperation between the internal specialist and the plastic surgeon.
