Complex Case of Tuberculosis Lymphadenitis with Concurrent Takayasu Arteritis in a 14-Year-Old Girl from Ethiopia.

Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a large vessel arteritis that predominantly affects the aorta and its major branches. Its association with tuberculosis (TB) has been described in the literature. This association poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, especially in TB-endemic areas. We report a case of a young Ethiopian female patient who was diagnosed with TA associated with TB. We discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of this association.
