Vessels and infectious diseases

The Pathology of Vessels

  • 164 Accesses

Abstract

Blood vessels and lymphatics play a central role in many infections or infestations. Viruses, bacteria fungi and parasites may all disseminate through vessels or demonstrate a tropism for vessel walls or a capacity to parasitise vessels in the long term, with mechanical complications. Vasculitis (see chapter XI), disseminated intravascular coagulation and thrombosis may occur [1, 2]. There is direct and indirect evidence establishing links between infection and vascu-lopathy, including aortitis, atherosclerosis, Wegener’s granulomatosis and various vasculitic syndromes [3]. However, most complications are caused by the infectious disease itself (via toxins, haemolysis or cross-reacting antigens) or are facilitated by changes in the response of the immune system [4, 5].
