    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Internal Medicine
    • Vascular Inflammation

    Background:

    • Temporal arteritis (TA) is a vasculitis affecting large arteries, primarily the aorta and its branches.
    • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent complications like vision loss.

    Observation:

    • A retrospective review of 13 biopsy-proven temporal arteritis cases from 1971-1977 at Emory University hospitals.
    • Analysis included patient demographics, clinical presentation, laboratory findings, and treatment outcomes.

    Findings:

    • 12 white patients and 1 black patient were identified.
    • Anemia and elevated alkaline phosphatase were present in 8/13 patients.
    • Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was universal (13/13 patients).
    • Rapid symptom resolution was observed with corticosteroid therapy in all patients.
