Can I enquire about the malignancy of vasculitis? What is the general life expectancy of somebody who has got vasculitis? What is the worst that can happen to somebody with vasculitis? I mean, can vasculitis be fatal? If that is true, then in what kind of cases is vasculitis fatal? I look forward to hearing from you.

Well, there are almost as many types of vasculitis as there people, seemingly. Some types of vasculitis are caused as a result of drug use, and those often resolve totally on their own. Other types of vasculitis, like kawasaki's disease, can certainly be fatal, although when good treatment is provided, vasculitis patients generally have a good prognosis.

First of all, thank you for answering, and so quickly, too! What is kawasaki's disease? And if it is fatal then what is the reason behind that? Does it affect the heart or lungs or something? Please give me some additional information about this. I'd also like to know what the treatment is for this disease, and what can be done to prevent it from being fatal.
