Best Practice & Research: Clinical Rheumatology, 06/25/09
Borg FA et al. - Diagnosis of large vessel vasculitis is often delayed due to poor recognition of early, often non-specific symptoms. Laboratory inflammatory markers are often discordant with disease activity. Modern imaging techniques show promise in diagnosis and disease monitoring, improving our understanding of major artery involvement in large vessel vasculitis. The mainstay of therapy remains corticosteroids. Experience using conventional disease-modifying drugs is mixed, and biological therapies require further evaluation for their steroid-sparing potential.
