Abstract
A young female 14 years old was detected with Takayasu arteritis in December 2018. We started the therapy with glucocorticoid 20 mg/ day in the first month, and then additive acid acetylsalicylic (Aspirin) 81 mg/day, in addition to the other drugs such as ACEi, a beta-blocker. After 12 months, this therapy bring results positive that were demonstrated via the value C- reactive protein (CRP) from high to normal, and the image of an aortic aneurysm in CT scan is nearly the normal size after treatment. This is the first time that the combination of glucocorticoid and antiplatelet showed benefit in Takayasu disease in Viet Nam. This is a chance for the patients who are diagnosed with Takayasu arteritis, instead of using invasive methods such as aortic stent placement or operations.
