Özet
Takayasu's arteritis is a chronic granulomatous inflammatory large vessel vasculitis of unknown etiology. Takayasu's arteritis primarily affects the aorta and its primary branches. Women are affected in 80 to 90 percent of cases, with an age of onset that is usually between 10 and 40 years. The onset of clinical symptoms in Takayasu's arteritis are variably. Symptoms of vascular disease are cyanosis and/or pain in arms or legs, lightheadedness or other symptoms of reduced blood flow, or nonspecific constitutional symptoms. Pulmonary hemorrhage is rare in Takayasu's arteritis. This case is presented because of the progress of cavitary lesion in the lung due to aspergilloma by immunosuppressive treatment.
