“…In the literature, we were only able to find twelve observations in 20 years (Bablekos et al 2006;Dupond et al 1982;Clementz et al 1989;Garewal et al 1981;Guillaume et al 1991;B;Guindon et al 2007;Preston et al 1991;Pedro-Botet et al 1996;Matsue et al 2011;Moulis et al 2010;Stanley et al 1989& Valstar et al 2003. In nine of these cases, cardiac symptoms including chest pain, exertional dyspnea or pericardial fremitus were present, but in three of the cases, the pericarditis was silent and was discovered on chest X-ray anomaly (Guindon et al 2007;Miller 1996;Pedro et al 1996).…”

His work has been seminal to identify and characterize the immune mechanisms that underlie erosive arthritis in systemic lupus erythematosus, especially those related to the abnormal behavior of citrulline and C-reactive protein. He has also been involved in the study of kidney damage in Takayasu's arteritis as well as in the existence of subclinical tissue damage in patients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia. Dr. Amezcua-Guerra teaches immunology to postgraduate students in Rheumatology at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and to undergraduate students at the

“…Das klinische Bild kann jedoch je nach betroffenem Gefa Èûbezirk vielfa Èltig variieren und damit die richtige Diagnose erschweren: Bilder einer Koronarinsuffizienz (3), eines Myokardinfarktes (16,17,22,28), einer zerebrovaskula Èren Insuffizienz (2, 12) oder eines Schlaganfalles (5, 24) sind mo Èglich, die Aortitis kann zur Aortendissektion (13,25) oder -ruptur (1, 8) fu Èhren oder zu Bildung von Aneurysmen (27). In mehreren sporadisch erschienen Berichten werden auch Perikardergu Èsse beschrieben (4, 6, 7, 15,20,26). Auch oligosymptomatische Verlaufsformen werden beobachtet, bei denen das Fieber die klinische Symptomatik dominiert (18,21 2) Neu aufgetretene Kopfschmerzen oder gea Ènderte Eigenschaften schon bestehender Kopfschmerzen.…”

Perikarderguss und Aortitis: ungewohnliche Leitsymptome einer Riesenzellarteritis

Giant cell arteritis is a systemic vasculitis with segmentary vascular localisation, usually manifesting as temporal arteritis (Horton's disease). The predominant localisation in different vascular districts leads to clinical heterogeneity and poses a considerable diagnostic challenge. We describe a 77-year old woman with atypical presentation of giant cell arteritis, suffering from fever, weight loss and fatigue, but without classical symptoms such as polymyalgias, arthralgias and headache. The findings of pericardial effusion and thickening of aortic wall in chest-CT suggested the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis, fully confirmed by the following biopsy and histologic examination of a macroscopically and palpatory normal arteria temporalis. Undergoing an appropriate corticosteroid-medication the patient has been free of symptoms since 8 months.
