Tam S et al. - Temporal arteritis is rare among Hong Kong Chinese. A rough estimate of annual incidence yielded less than one per 100,000 people aged >=50. Overall clinical presentation was similar to overseas studies but there were: (i) longer duration of steroid therapy given; and (ii) more complications from steroid use. Steroid-sparing agents should be considered early in difficult-to-control cases.
