Serial assessment of ultrasound sensitivity and scores in patients with giant cell arteritis before and 3 and 10 days after treatment
The vasculitic US findings expressed by OGUS diminished after 3 days of GC treatment. TA-US sensitivity decreased after 10 days, whereas LV-US was less likely to change, highlighting the importance of LV-assessment. Consistent with the EULAR recommendations, these findings encourage prompt US assessment, preferably within 3 days, to ensure an accurate diagnosis.
