Not to be confused with arthritis.
Arteritis is a vascular disorder characterized by inflammation of the walls of arteries,[1] usually as a result of infection or autoimmune responses. Arteritis, a complex disorder, is still not entirely understood.[2] Arteritis may be distinguished by its different types, based on the organ systems affected by the disease.[2] A complication of arteritis is thrombosis, which can be fatal. Arteritis and phlebitis are forms of vasculitis.
