Prognosis and impacts

How serious is polyarteritis? Is polyarteritis chronic?

Both PAN and Wegener's are rare conditions not easily diagnosed in their early stages, nor are they simple to treat. These diseases usually are chronic, lasting months or years and are characterized by an unpredictable course. After several months of feeling well, your symptoms may flare up unexpectedly. Repeated check-ups and continued vigilance by your doctor is very important.
