- Abstract
We describe the case of a male patient who presented with mononeuritis multiplex due to polyarteritis nodosa following recent hepatitis B infection. Despite immunomodulatory treatment, the condition progressed with renal and small bowel involvement and the patient died. This case illustrates the difficulty in treating this multisystem disorder and we review the literature on its pathogenesis and treatment.
