Giant Cell Arteritis

26.1 Introduction/ Physiopathology

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) or Horton’s disease is a systemic granulomatous vasculitis. According to the Chapel Hill classication, it affects large ves­sels, namely, the aorta and its main branches. This is an antigen-driven disease with local T-cell and macrophage activation in the vessel wall and with an important role of proinammatory cyto­kines. GCA is also called “temporal arteritis” because it involves often the supercial temporal arteries. The condition affects especially the extracranial branches of the carotid artery, but GCA has been recognized to also affect limb arteries and the aorta [1, 2].
GCA typically affects adults older than 50 years of age with a peak incidence at the eighth decade of life [1]. Most patients will have
laboratory evidence of acute inammation (ele­vation of erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein).

26.2 Diagnosis

26.2.1 Medical Context
• GCA is the most common vasculitis in the elderly.
• Incidence increases with aging of the population.
• GCA affects mainly white individuals over 50years of age, with a peak incidence in the 70–79-year-old age group (Figs. 26.1, 26.2 and 26.3).
• Women are mostly affected (sex ratio 3:1) [3, 4].

26.2.3 Criteria (Table26.1)
Table 26.1 ACR classication criteria for giant cell
arteritis
Age50years at disease onset New onset of localized headache Temporal artery tenderness or decreased temporal artery pulse ESR 50mm/h Biopsy: Necrotizing arteritis; mononuclear cell inltrates, or a granulomatous process with multinucleated giant cells
Presence of3/5: Sensitivity of 93% and specicity of 91% for distinguishing GCA from other primary vasculitis syndromes
American College of Rheumatology (ACR), 1990
26.2.4 Routine Evaluation
(a) Biology
– Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP), eryth-
rocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). – Thrombocytosis. – Anemia. – Abnormal liver function tests, particularly
raised alkaline phosphatase. – Raised α1 and α2 globulins on serum
electrophoresis. – No autoimmune disorders [2].
(b) Histology
Temporal artery biopsy (TAB) – Recommended in all suspected cases. – Should be performed soon after the
onset of treatment.
– The sensitivity and specicity of TAB
have been reported to be around 75% and 90%, respectively.
– Histological features: inammation of
the vessel wall by inltration of T cells and macrophages, presence of giant cells, granulomatous lesions, intimal hyperplasia and destruction of elastic bers, and arterial lumen partially or completely occluded.
– Histologic signs of inammation may be
missed in TABs performed in arteritis­free segments because GCA affects vessels focally and segmentally.
Skin biopsies
– Histological features from limb ulcer
edge, nodule, and purpuric patch show nonspecic ulceration if the biopsy is supercial and do not include deep medium or large vessels. The extracra­nial large vessel had similar histopath­ologic features to those seen in the temporal arteries and showed a lym­phocytic panarteritis with a variable number of giant cells. Direct immuno­uorescence is negative [9].
(c) Imaging
The prevalence of limb arteries’ involve­ment in GCA is clinically underestimated. Imaging studies are useful in identifying the involvement of the latter [2]:
• Ultrasonography.
• Positron-emission tomography (PET).
• Computed tomography angiography (CTA).
• Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).
It is also recommended to perform a screening for aortic aneurysms and for extra­aortic large-vessel involvement.

26.3 Treatment

High-dose glucocorticosteroid therapy is the rst-line therapy as soon as the diagnosis has been established or if there is a strong clinical suspicion of GCA to prevent visual loss [10, 11].
1. Recommended starting dosages of glucocorti­costeroids are:
190
P. Lecerf and S. Golstein
Uncomplicated GCA (no jaw claudication or visual disturbance) Evolving visual loss or amaurosis fugax (complicated GCA)
Established visual loss 60mg prednisolone daily
40–60mg prednisolone daily
500mg to 1g of i.v. methylprednisolone for 3days before oral glucocorticosteroids
to protect the contralateral eye
Do not forget bone protection and proton pump
inhibitors for gastrointestinal protection.
2. Symptoms of GCA should respond rapidly to high-dose glucocorticosteroid treatment, fol­lowed by resolution of the inammatory response. Failure to do so should raise the question of an alternative diagnosis.
3. Glucocorticosteroid reduction:
(a) Should be considered only in the absence
of clinical symptoms, signs, and labora­tory abnormalities suggestive of active disease.
(b) Introduction of MTX or alternative
immunosuppressants should be consid­ered as adjuvant therapy for recurrent relapse.

26.4 Tocilizumab

Tocilizumab is an anti-interleukin-6 receptor monoclonal antibody. Recent American recom­mendations propose to use a combination of prednisone and tocilizumab as rst-line therapy in new-onset GCA.
It can be used in newly diagnosed GCA patients already presenting corticosteroid-related adverse events (AE) or at high risk for such AE [1013].

26.5 Methotrexate

Methotrexate is initially associated with sys­temic corticosteroids in patients presenting or at high risk of corticosteroid-related AE (as an alternative to tocilizumab) and allows the grad­ual tapering of the systemic corticosteroid treat­ment. Although stronger clinical evidence supports the use of tocilizumab compared to
methotrexate, the latter can be considered if the patient is at risk of recurrent infections or for cost reasons [14].

Hidradenitis Suppurativa

27.1 Introduction

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic inamma­tory skin disease affecting approximately 1% of the adult population [1, 2]. It presents clinically as painful inammatory nodules, draining sinuses, and abscesses, causing considerable pain, suppuration, and malodor. It has a substan­tial negative impact on the quality of life, more so than many other skin diseases, such as eczema and psoriasis [3]. The disease is associated with physical and psychological morbidity, such as depression, metabolic syndrome, and an increased risk of skin cancer.
The typical age of onset is the early 20s, but the disease may present in younger ages, and occasionally affection of prepubertal children is seen. Symptoms persist for years to decades, characterized by periods of ares and remission. The disease activity often diminishes with age, as the prevalence decreases among adults aged 50years and older. The sex ratio is 3:1, female to

male. Family history is reported by one in three patients, and an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance has been described [1, 2]. Other risk factors include obesity and smoking, both being associated with severe disease.

27.2 Diagnosis

Patients with hidradenitis suppurativa are usually diagnosed several years after the onset of symp­toms, mostly due to failure on the part of health­care professionals to recognize the disease. The diagnosis is primarily clinical, based on the pres­ence of recurring noninammatory and inam­matory nodules, abscesses, and sinus tracts. The inammatory nodules and abscesses are ery­thematous, tender, and not uncommonly painful. They may persist for weeks to months without any considerable change, or they may rupture, yielding purulent discharge. In moderate and severe disease, drainage also occurs through sinus tracts, causing malodorous suppuration. The lesions are distributed characteristically with predilection sites being the axillary, inguinofem­oral, and anogenital regions. Extensions beyond these areas are occasionally seen.
The most commonly used classication system for hidradenitis suppurativa is that of Hurley (stages I–III), stage I representing solitary or multiple nod­ules and abscesses, stage II recurrent abscesses with sinus tract formation and scarring (Fig.27.1), and stage III diffuse involvement of the area with mul-
