Аннотация
UNLABELLED: Giant cell arteritis (GCA), or Horton's arteritis, presenting solely as fever is very rare. Usually, it manifests with typical features such as visual problems, headache and jaw claudication, or it can be associated with polymyalgia rheumatica. We describe the case of a patient with GCA who presented only with prolonged fever, the cause of which was not determined by diagnostic tests.
LEARNING POINTS: Fever may be the only symptom of giant cell arteritis (GCA).It is important to consider GCA in the differential diagnosis of fever of unknown origin as early diagnosis is crucial for prompt treatment and to prevent catastrophic complications such as vision loss or stroke.Temporal artery biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosing GCA.
