Cutaneous small-vessel vasculitis

Cutaneous small-vessel vasculitis (also known as "Cutaneous leukocytoclastic angiitis,"^[1] "Cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis,"^[1] "Cutaneous necrotizing venulitis,"^[1] and "Hypersensitivity angiitis"^[1]) is inflammation of small blood vessels (usually post-capillary venules in the dermis), characterized by palpable purpura.^[2]^:831^[3] It is the most common vasculitis seen in clinical practice. Leukocytoclasis refers to the damage caused by nuclear debris from infiltrating neutrophils in and around the vessels.^[4]

Subtypes of small-vessel vasculitis include:^[2]^:833–6
