Multicenter Study
[Hospitalization for infection in patients treated for giant cell arteritis: A single-centre retrospective study].
Infections are associated with morbimortality of patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA). The aim of this work was twofold: the identification of factors predisposing to the risk of infection and the description of patients hospitalized with an infection occurring during the treatment period of CAG. ⋯ Factors associated with infectious risk were identified. This preliminary monocentric work will continue with a national multicentre study.
