Childhood-Onset Takayasu Arteritis: Clinical Features of Disease and Relapse Risk Factors.
Children (Basel)
January 2025
Department of Children's Diseases, N.F. Filatov Clinical Institute of Children's Health, I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University, 119435 Moscow, Russia.
Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a systemic vasculitis that primarily affects the aorta and major arteries. Despite aggressive treatment with glucocorticoids (GCs) and non-biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (nbDMARDs), about 30% of patients experience resistance to therapy or relapse. This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with refractory and relapse TA in pediatric patients.

We aimed to investigate the frequency of restless legs syndrome (RLS) and neuropathic pain (NeP) in patients with Takayasu arteritis (TAK), and their relationship with disease activity, and quality of life (QoL). In this prospective case-control study, we evaluated 30 patients with TAK and 28 healthy subjects. Demographic, clinical, and current treatment-related data were also recorded.

Takayasu arteritis, a granulomatosis vasculitis with a pathogenesis that is poorly defined but known to be associated with HLA-B*52, shares many features with other MHC-I-opathies. In addition to the shared clinical features of inflammatory bowel diseases, cutaneous inflammation, and HLA-B*52, is shared association of an IL12B single- nucleotide polymorphism encoding the common IL-12 and IL-23 p40 subunit, which might affect not only type 17 cytokine responses, but also IFNγ and TNF production-the cardinal type 1 cytokines in granuloma formation. Considering the translational context of responses to TNF inhibition in Takayasu arteritis, in this Personal View we propose Takayasu arteritis as a type 1 MHC-I-opathy.

Department of Clinical Rheumatology, Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine, Sendai, Japan.
Objectives: The feasibility of corticosteroid withdrawal (CW) for Takayasu arteritis (TAK) remains uncertain. Two autoantibodies (Abs) are identified against endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) and scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-BI) in TAK, determining its three subgroups. This study aimed to evaluate CW using tocilizumab (TCZ) and its association with the Ab profile.

BACKGROUND Arterial hypertension in pediatric patients often presents complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. The diagnosis of hypertension in children is based on different guidelines than in adults, with arterial hypertension in children defined as systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure values at or above the 95th percentile for age, sex, and height. Unlike adult populations, it is predominantly secondary in etiology, with conditions such as renovascular hypertension as common causes.
