Abstract

We describe the first case of Takayasu Arteritis (TA) complicated by multicentric hyaline-vascular type of Castleman’s disease (CD) which was diagnosed by the biopsy of mediastinal lymphnode 23 years after the diagnosis of TA. CD is classified as a lymphoid disorder of immune regulation characterized by a systemic, unregulated B cell proliferation, and there are some reports about the coincidence of CD and autoimmune diseases. This case has allowed us to gain some insight into a possible relation between the two disorders.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
