Takayasu arteritis in children and adults: epidemiological data, clinical manifestations, survival, and mortality
Abstract
The prevalence of Takayasu arteritis (TA), its clinical presentation, and survival rates may vary among patients depending on age at disease onset and region of residence. The origin of this heterogeneity has not been fully elucidated; pathogenetic mechanisms are associated with genetic, autoimmune, and infectious factors. Nonspecific and heterogeneous symptoms lead to delayed diagnosis and the development of ischemic complications. This article presents a review of publications addressing the characteristics of TA across different age and ethnic groups.
