Abstract
- Takayasu's disease is a vasculitis affecting large vessels, particularly the aorta and its main branches, for which the role of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been suggested as a trigger by a hypersensitivity reaction. Inflammatory bowel diseases, which in sub-Saharan Africa can be confused with parasitic diseases, can rarely be found in association with Takayasu's disease. We report an association between both diseases in the Gabonese population.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 SFMTSI.)
