* <spoiler text="What is the prognosis for patients with PAN?">The clinical course of PAN may be acute, subacute, or chronic and is frequently remittent, with long symptom-free intervals. Acute episodes of the disease are treated with corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide. Aggressive immunosuppressive treatment leads to remission or cure in approximately 90% of patients with PAN.</spoiler>
