Abstract
Giant cell arteritis may present atypically with symptoms of malaise, anorexia, weight loss and fever that could lead to diagnostic difficulties. We describe two cases which the prominent initial feature was protracted pyrexia. Clinicians should seriously consider temporal artery biopsy in such cases.
摘要
巨细胞动脉炎可能以全身不适、厌食、体重减轻和发热等非典型症状出现，这可能导致诊断困难。我们描述了两例最初突出特征为持续性发热的病例。临床医生在这类病例中应认真考虑进行颞动脉活检。
