WikiProject Medicine Workplan for Article Improvement
This article is heavily lacking in the etiology, clinical presentation, clinical diagnosis, and treatment of small vessel cutaneous vasculitis. We are planning to add much information to these areas with citations to appropriate sources. I (Alibabamd) will work primarily on the diagnosis and treatment section and bae18 will work primarily on the etiology and presentation sections although we will work together on the entire page. There is not much to edit here so our work will be primarily adding information to this topic. Alibabamd (talk) 01:32, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

Hey guys! Great job with the edits and additions to the article thus far. For the most part, I would say that the article is logically structured and its readability makes it accessible to the average layperson. There are a couple of edits that I would suggest that might make it easier to understand in some parts. For example, in the associated symptoms section, it may be helpful to either use a different term or explain what "extra-cutaneous" means. Similarly, in the diagnosis section, it may help to explain the significance of a systemic disease, and maybe even give an example to further clarify for the audience. Otherwise the article seems to be appropriately cited, and the sources used in the article are relevant and current. There were no problems that I encountered with the links included in the text of the article. I did not notice any obvious grammatical errors in reading the article.

Thank you for the review! "Extra-cutaneous" has be omitted from the section. Thank you for pointing that out. Bae18 (talk) 06:14, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

Suggestions: Diagnosis section 1) Why is it important to distinguish IgA vs non-IgA vasculitis? Can you expand on the complications associated with misdiagnosing? 2) Can you add any meta-analysis or lit reviews to this section? (ie most common presenting symptoms, sens/spec of CRP/ESR, expected lab results for CBC, CMP etc.) 3) Spot checked sources- good references

Treatment section 1) I clicked on the diseases under classification, and they link out to wiki pages that are vague and most do not have treatment. Any way to broadly categorize treatment (ie this subset of diseases usually respond well with X)? 2) Any lit reviews you can add that outlines which therapies are usually used/most effective? Good job overall! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jkoihmn (talk • contribs) 01:59, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for the recommendations. I agree to signify why IgA vs nonIgA is important. Alibabamd (talk) 13:51, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
