    Author: Gormezano NW, Santos MC, Okuda EM, Catani LH, Sacchetti SB.
    Journal: Rev Bras Reumatol Engl Ed; 2016; 56(2):178-80. PubMed ID: 27267532.
    Abstract:
    Takayasu's arteritis (TA) and rheumatic fever are diseases that can start with cardiac features, making the diagnosis difficult. There are reports of association of RF with Takayasu's arteritis beginning with cardiac involvement in pediatric patients. The aim of this study is to report the possible association of RF and TA in patients with cardiac abnormalities. We describe the case of an adolescent initially diagnosed with RF who progressed with changes that allowed making the diagnosis of TA. TA and RF are two important causes of valve involvement that may have systemic manifestations.
