Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and Takayasu's arteritis
Main Article Content
Reports of different entities associated with Takayasu's arteritis have been numerous. However, an association with microangiopathic hemolytic anemia has not been registered. This paper reports the case of a 24-year-old female patient at Hospital Universitario del Valle, Cali, Colombia, in whom after five years under studies and treatment for microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, the diagnosis of Takayasu's arteritis by angiography was made. It is discussed if a common mechanism could explain the association between these two entities.
