The main challenge in the management of Takayasu's arteritis (TA) consists in evaluating if the patient is in disease activity, once new lesions occur in patients without any clinical or laboratory manifestation. Recent studies ascribe the disease's physiopathology to Th1 and Th17 pathways and its related cytokines. The new hybrid positron-emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (P…
Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a chronic granulomatous systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology, which causes structural alterations in large vessels, involving the aorta and its main branches, and pulmonary arteries. The main treatment of TAK is by using glucocorticoids (GC) in high doses, this medicament has polymorphic effects and can cause different adverse effects (AE). Some single nucle…

Recently, PET-CT scan (Positron Emission Tomography - Computed Tom…
