| Summary: | Takayasu arteritis is an inflammatory disease that affects the aorta and its main branches. Its etiology is obscure. Its association with systemic lupus erythematosus has been reported in the English literature in about 20 cases worldwide, and a relationship with a positive tuberculin test, either with or without tuberculosis, has also been mentioned. We report a pediatric patient who presented with renovascular hypertension secondary to Takayasu arteritis associated with a strongly positive tuberculin test and who subsequently developed possible systemic lupus erythematosus 8 months later. © IPNA 2004. |
