Resumen
ROCA CAMPANA, Victor et al. Takayasu's arteritis and unknown origin fever. Rev cubana med [online]. 2010, vol.49, n.1, pp. 105-113. ISSN 1561-302X.
Takayasu's arteritis is a chronic inflammatory arteritis involving the great vessels with predominance in aorta and its main branches. It is an infrequent cause of fever of unknown origin (FUO). Authors present the cases of two young women admitted for study of UOF in whom the appearance of fugax amaurosis and supraclavicular and carotid murmurs were the clinical clues directed the diagnosis. This was verified from a Doppler ultrasound (US) and angiographic CAT of supra-aortic trunks.
