“…In one case report, there was an associated large vessel vasculopathy in a Japanese patient with a background diagnosis of SLE and temporal arteritis [7]. We found a similar case to ours where there was a patient with a Takayasu's arteritis presentation followed by an associated diagnosis of SLE [8]. In this reported case, the patient was a 24 year old Indian female who initially presented with clinical symptoms and signs consistent with a diagnosis of Takayasu's pulseless arteritis.…”

“…In this reported case, the patient was a 24 year old Indian female who initially presented with clinical symptoms and signs consistent with a diagnosis of Takayasu's pulseless arteritis. Three years later she then represented with rash, arthralgia, non scarring alopecia and other clinical features of SLE [8]. In our case, the patient similarly presented originally with clinical features more consistent with a diagnosis of Takayasu's pulseless arteritis but with a much more persistently elevated ESR.…”

“…The absent pulses, involvement of the aorta and great vessels and raised ESR were well in keeping with this diagnosis [12]. However, Takayasu's pulseless arteritis is seen primarily in Asian women and is not associated with lupus antibodies [8] [13]. Furthermore, there have not been any reported cases of Takayasu's pulseless arteritis in the Caribbean population plus SLE is a relatively common disorder in people of Afro-Caribbean descent [14] [15].…”

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with an associated aortoarteritis presenting as an ischemic stroke is a rarity in the medical literature. We report the case of an 11-year-old male presenting with an acute ischemic stroke meeting the criteria for the diagnosis of SLE and findings consistent with an aortitis on imaging but mimicking the diagnosis of Takayasu's pulseless arteritis. Blood and imaging investigations revealed the finding of SLE aortitis following an acute stroke presentation. Thus, it is imperative to note that even though it is infrequent, SLE can be associated with a large vessel vasculitis.

“…In some cases, medium-sized arteries are involved, which are associated with more frequent thrombotic events and higher morbidity. 11,12 In SLE, involvement of aorta is extremely rare. 13 In our case who was a diagnosed case of SLE, we found the typical angiographic evidence of Takayasu's arteritis effecting the great vessels.…”

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus with Takayasu’s Arteritis - A Rare Co-existance

We report the case of a 30-year-old normotensive, nondiabetic lady diagnosed case of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus(SLE); who came with the complaints of limb claudication. After clinical and lab evaluation she was diagnosed as a case of Takayasus Arteritis along with SLE. Though the co- existence of SLE and Takayasu’s Disease is very rare, we should search for the development of arterial occlusive diseases in SLE cases if the patient has got suspicious symptoms.

“…The age of onset and sex predominance (female) were similar in both conditions. Additionally, the antiphospholipid syndrome observed in SLE may mimic the vascular-occlusive symptoms observed in TA (10). Notably, approximately 56% of individuals with SLE experience vasculitis at some point in their lives (11).…”

Takayasu’s arteritis (TA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are distinct autoimmune disorders with similar age and gender predisposition. However, their coexistence is exceedingly rare, and presents unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Here, we report the case of a 44-year-old female with nodular episcleritis, breathlessness, and palpitations who was ultimately diagnosed with both TA and SLE. The presence of a range of antibodies in various cases underscores the heterogeneity of the disease presentation and the need for comprehensive testing. While many patients with this dual diagnosis experience symptom improvement and complete recovery, some face severe outcomes. In our case, aortic root replacement surgery was planned because of severe aortic regurgitation; however, the patient's condition deteriorated, resulting in death. This case underscores the need for clinicians to recognise and thoroughly evaluate patients with overlapping symptoms of TA and SLE. Although challenging, the coexistence of these autoimmune diseases provides valuable insights into the complexities of autoimmune conditions. Further research and collaboration are essential to advance our understanding and to improve patient outcomes in these complex clinical scenarios.
