Also known as Angiitis, Vasculitis Syndrome
Vasculitis is a group of disorders that destroy blood vessels by inflammation. Both arteries and veins are affected. Lymphangitis (inflammation of lymphatic vessels) is sometimes considered a type of vasculitis. Vasculitis is primarily caused by leukocyte migration and resultant damage. Although both occur in vasculitides, inflammation of veins (phlebitis) or arteries (arteritis) on their own are separate entities.

血管炎（英語：vasculitis，複數vasculitides）是一群以血管本身的炎症和坏死性病变造成血管破壞为特征的疾病，動脈跟靜脈均可被影響。當發生在靜脈時，被稱為（phlebitis），發生於動脈時，則稱為（arteritis）。淋巴管炎（lymphangitis）有時也被視作血管炎的一種。多數血管炎发病机制是自體免疫系統失調，攻擊血管組織造成。 临床可表现为发热、体重减轻、皮肤紫癜、、肌痛、肌炎、关节痛、多发性单神经病、头痛、脑血管病等。
