Vasculitis

Vasculitis is inflammation of the blood vessels. The condition occurs if the horse's immune system attacks it's blood vessels by mistake. Vasculitis can occur as a primary disorder although it is found more commonly as a secondary condition caused by immune-mediated, infectious, toxic or tumor-associated disorders.
