ABSTRACT

La arteritis de Takayasu es una enfermedad crónica inflamatoria que afecta a los grandes vasos, con predilección por la aorta y sus ramas. Describimos el caso de un adolescente de 14 años con arteritis de Takayasu, con una estenosis moderada de los troncos supraaórticos y una dilatación aneurismática de la aorta ascendente y descendente. En el tratamiento de base se administraron corticoides, inmunosupresores y fármacos biológicos (infliximab y tocilizumab). Durante el periodo de tratamiento, el paciente desarrolló una tuberculosis pulmonar que fue tratada sin complicaciones (AU)

The base treatment was corticosteroids, in combination with immunosuppressive drugs and biologic agents (infliximab and tocilizumab).
