Abstract
|
|
|
|
The coexistence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Takayasu’s arteritis (TA) is a rare combination and described only in case reports in the literature. Although concurrent pres-ence of RA and TA has been described only in a few liter-atures to date and the number of reports is increasing, the association between RA and TA remains to be clarified. We present a case of a female patient with both RA and TA, presenting with polyarthritis. We also reviewed the clinical features of the cases with coexistence of RA and TA.
