Abstract

One of the extra-articular systemic manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is cutaneous rheumatoid vasculitis (RV). Among the reasons for the development of RV, an important place is occupied by the deposition of immune complexes in the walls of blood vessels. This concept is based on the detection of high titers of rheumatoid factor, circulating immune complexes, as well as cryoglobulins in most RA patients with RV. Along with the use of disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug therapy, topical treatment plays a significant role.
