Objective Although Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is not a prototypical autoantibody‐mediated disease, accumulating evidence suggests that B cells are involved. This study aimed to investigate the pathway of B cell activation and its contributions to TAK pathogenesis. Methods Histologic analysis of paravascular lymph nodes and affected arteries was conducted

Procalcitonin in Takayasu Arteritis [PDF]
To the Editor: Procalcitonin (PCT) is an acute-phase protein, a precursor of the hormone calcitonin1. Microbial constituents and proinflammatory mediators such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and interferon-γ induce ubiquitous PCT expression during bacterial, parasitic, or fungal infections1,2.

Rare vasculitis types and obstetric and neonatal outcomes – A population‐based study
Abstract Objective Vasculitis is an infrequent pathology among reproductive‐aged women. While data exists regarding pregnancy outcomes in the more common vasculitis subtypes, data is limited regarding these outcomes in rare vasculitis subtypes. We aimed to compare pregnancy and perinatal outcomes between women who suffered from rare types of vasculitis
