[Immunosuppressor treatment in temporal arteritis of long-term evolution].
We report a case of rheumatic polymyalgia associated with temporal arteritis, in which clinical-biological symptoms and evolution with steroid or immunosuppressive therapy were analyzed. We confirm the lack of effectiveness of the treatment with AINES, the low response to steroids and the high response to immunosuppressive therapy.
