“…The global activity criteria, such as National Institute of Health (NIH) criteria, must be viewed with caution given the current lack of validated activity criteria [1,36]. Moreover, the National Institute of Health (NIH) criteria and recently proposed DEI-TAK criteria [1,37] need information regarding new onset or worsening of clinical features during patients' follow-up. However, we assess disease activity without such information at the time of diagnosis because we have to decide whether to treat the patients with immunosuppressants.…”

Because of frequent tuberculosis in patients with Takayasu arteritis (TA), a possible relationship between TA and tuberculosis has been proposed. However, there are no studies to date that have examined clinical manifestations in patients diagnosed with TA with or without tuberculosis. Two hundred sixty-seven patients were diagnosed with TA according to the 1990 American College of Rheumatology criteria between September 1994 and April 2014. Patients with TA were classified into groups with or without tuberculosis. Among the 267 patients with TA studied, 47 patients (17.7 %) who had a history of previous treatment of tuberculosis (34 patients), concurrent diagnosis of tuberculosis with TA (10 patients), or diagnosis of tuberculosis during the follow-up period for TA (3 patients) were included in the group with tuberculosis. The group with tuberculosis comprised of 33 patients (70.2 %) with pulmonary tuberculosis, 12 patients (25.5 %) with tuberculous lymphadenitis, and 2 patients (4.3 %) with tuberculosis of the skin and colon, respectively. Comorbid disease and patients' signs and symptoms were not significantly different between TA patients with and without tuberculosis. Additionally, the site of disease involvement in angiographic findings and distribution of angiographic type were similar between the two groups. In conclusion, tuberculosis including tuberculous lymphadenitis was frequently observed in patients with TA. Clinical features and angiographic findings in TA were not different according to the presence or absence of concomitant tuberculosis.

“…The global activity criteria, such as National Institute of Health (NIH) criteria, must be viewed with caution given the current lack of validated activity criteria [23]. Moreover, NIH criteria and recently proposed DEI-TAK criteria [24] need information regarding new onset or worsening of clinical features such as vascular ischemia and angiographic features during patient's follow-up. However, when we assess disease activity at the time of patient's first presentation, we do not have such information, even though we have to decide whether to treat the patient with immunosuppressives according to the disease activity.…”

TA has also developed in young people in all countries.…”

Current Clinical Features of New Patients With Takayasu Arteritis Observed From Cross-Country Research in Japan

2015

Background-The clinical features of newly diagnosed Japanese patients with Takayasu arteritis and its age or sex specificities are unknown. Methods and Results-We analyzed information from nationwide registration forms submitted by patients with Takayasu arteritis between April 2001 and March 2011 as part of a research program by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Among the 7779 patients who submitted their forms, 1372 newly registered patients with Takayasu arteritis were enrolled; 83.8% were female. The median age at onset was 35 years, which was significantly higher in male patients (median, 43.5 years) than in female patients (median, 34 years; P<0.001). Local symptoms and findings were most commonly observed in the cervicobrachial area, with more complaints in the head or neck than in the upper limbs. Approximately 85% of the patients had vascular involvements in the aortic arch or its major branches; many young female patients had localized lesions. Although male patients had extensive aortic lesions or aneurysms with more complications, localized abdominal lesions were relatively more frequent in male patients with age at onset >40 years than in other agesex groups. Disease statuses were severe in patients who registered at ≥1 year after onset. Conclusions-The
