Giant cell arteritis with normal sedimentation rate.

T Kansu, J J Corbett, P Savino, N J Schatz.

Abstract

We report two elderly patients with normal erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and biopsy-confirmed giant cell arteritis. Because of the potentially disastrous consequences of undiagnosed giant cell arteritis, early treatment based on clinical diagnostic criteria is urged despite a normal ESR.
