Abstract

Tuberculosis is a chronic infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, about one third of world’s population is infected with tuberculosis bacteria and it’s the 13^th leading cause of death worldwide⁵. Takayasu arteritis is a rare disease, characterized by chronic, inflammatory vasculitis that primarily affects large arteries². Association between Takayasu arteritis and tuberculosis has been suggested by several authors. Specifically, both of diseases are related in terms of epidermiological areas, pathogenesis and clinical manifestations^6,8. To discuss more about the relationship between Takayasu arteritis and tuberculosis, we present a clinical case of lung tuberculosis detected during treatment of Takayasu arteritis.
