Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Takayasu's disease (TD) is a diffuse arteriopathy recognised by various names viz. Takayasu Arteritis, Takayasu's Disease, Takayasu Syndrome, Pulseless Disease, Non-specific Aortoarteritis, Reversed Coarctation, Aortic Arch Syndrome, Aortitis Syndrome, Young Female Arteritis, Idiopathic Arteritis and Martorell Syndrome. Though described about a century ago and with many eponyms, TD yet remains a challenging problem regarding etiopathogenesis, clinical presentation and management. We present a case of TD with pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO), angina and left sided pleural effusion.
