Cough as a clinical manifestation of large vessel vasculitis.

Cough is not a widely recognised symptom of large vessel vasculitides. If not promptly diagnosed and treated, large vessel vasculitis can have serious clinical consequences. We present the case of a 76-year-old man who presented with a subacute history of persistent dry cough, was found to have extensive aortitis on imaging, and experienced rapid resolution of symptoms with immunosuppression.
