title: Takayasu arteritis in Israel--update.
abstract: Takayasu disease in our Israeli series consists of 56 patients, and has been detected only in Sephardic and oriental Jews as well as in Arabs and Bedouin. Suspicion of Takayasu disease should be raised whenever renal artery stenosis and involvement of the aorta and its branches occur in patients from oriental origin.
