“…The aetiology of TA is unknown [1,2] but tuberculosis with an associated autoimmune component has been implicated by some authors [2,6,8,11]. In contrast, other authors report only a rare association with tuberculosis [11].…”

“…Reports on TA have a wide geographic origin including Japan, India, Africa, the USA, Thailand, Singapore, Israel and western Europe [1,3,4,5,6,7,8,10,11,12,13,14,15] and there are significant differences in clinical and pathological presentations from the various areas. Different reports from the same area, however, show good correlation of findings [1,2,5,15].…”

Angiographic features of 26 children with Takayasu's arteritis

The most consistent finding was stenosis of the aorta. Marginal irregularity/undulation of the aorta was also a useful angiographic diagnostic feature in subtle disease. The incidence of aneurysms was high compared to other studies and both fusiform and saccular aneurysms were encountered. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) was successful in all eight patients in whom it was performed. MRI, CT angiography and US are discussed as less invasive imaging alternatives. TA is a significant cause of renovascular hypertension in children in South Africa where there is a high incidence of tuberculous infection. Knowledge of the angiographic features and pattern of aortic involvement is essential for diagnosis and initiation of early and appropriate treatment, including PTA.

Takayasu arteritis is a non-specific inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. It was first recognized as having a peculiar wreath-like arteriovenous anastomosis around the papillae of the retina by a Japanese ophthalmologist, Dr. M. Takayasu in 1908. A Japanese research committee reported more than 5,000 cases. For a supplement issue on Takayasu arteritis, this brief overview article has been written as an introduction to the disease.

“…Epidemiological data show that past or present tuberculosis infection is over-represented in Takayasu's arteritis, with prevalence rates ranging from 21.8% to 70%. In a case series from India, patients with Takayasu's arteritis were 46.6 times as likely to have had active tuberculosis compared with general population (70% versus 1.5%) (Kinare, 1970). While, data from Mexico indicate that this ratio could be exceeded.…”
