Induction of remission in a patient with Takayasu's arteritis by low dose pulses of methotrexate.

D Mevorach¹, G Leibowitz, M Brezis, E Raz.

Abstract

A 42 year old woman with Takayasu's arteritis responded to treatment with prednisone (60 mg daily) but developed severe side effects. Cyclophosphamide treatment did not produce a clinical improvement or steroid sparing effect. A treatment trial with a weekly pulse of low dose methotrexate improved her symptoms and the patency of her occluded left subclavian artery.
