Takayasu arteritis in a 10-month-old boy

Original language description

Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the aorta and its main branches. TA is characterized by vasculitis of large vessels, and most frequently affects women in the second and third decades of life. It is extremely rare in children.A French study performed in 2007 describes a group of four patients with TA aged 8 -15 years; however, the condition has also been described in children at several months of age. the youngest child was 6 months old at the time of diagnosis. Initial manifestations of TA are unspecific, and include fever, weight loss, and fatigue. Hence, correct diagnosis of TA may be delayed for several months, or even years.
