Coexisting Rheumatoid Arthritis and Takayasu’s Arteritis: a Case Report and Review of the Literature
Correspondence to : Wan-Hee Yoo
The coexistence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Takayasu’s arteritis (TA) is a rare combination and described only in case reports in the literature. Although concurrent pres-ence of RA and TA has been described only in a few liter-atures to date and the number of reports is increasing, the association between RA and TA remains to be clarified. We present a case of a female patient with both RA and TA, presenting with polyarthritis. We also reviewed the clinical features of the cases with coexistence of RA and TA.

Abstract
The coexistence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Takayasu’s arteritis (TA) is a rare combination and described only in case reports in the literature. Although concurrent pres-ence of RA and TA has been described only in a few liter-atures to date and the number of reports is increasing, the association between RA and TA remains to be clarified. We present a case of a female patient with both RA and TA, presenting with polyarthritis. We also reviewed the clinical features of the cases with coexistence of RA and TA.
