Is Vasculitis A Contagious Disease?
My hematologist thinks I have vasculitis. I can't see my rheumatologist until April 30. I am scheduled to fly to Florida on April 5 and am wondering is this condition is contagious (I will be visiting family) and is it ok to fly? My arms and chest are covered with sores.

Hello,
Vasculitis is not contagious at all. You can meet your family. It is an autoimmune disorder, in which our own antibody attacks our own healthy cells and tissues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
