19. A case of giant cell arteritis (GCA) co-existent with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)/rheumatoid arthritis (RA) overlap syndrome

摘要

IntroductionThe diagnosis of GCA is relatively straightforward. However, the diagnosis of GCA can be more challenging in the context of complicated SLE and RA in part due to the rarity of the combination of autoimmune disorders. To our knowledge, it is rarely reported in the literature. This case highlights the pitfalls of diagnosis and the added complexities and difficulties in diagnosing GCA in the context of SLE/RA overlap syndrome.
