Giant Cell Arteritis; African American Population; Ophthalmic Presentation |
| Description |
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is considered to be rare in African Americans, although the true incidence of the disease in this population is unknown. Published data consists of case series that have primarily compared systemic features of GCA in African American patients to Caucasians. Details of ophthalmic involvement in African American patients have only been reported in the form of case reports and small case series. Our objective was to assess the ophthalmic and systemic presentations of GCA in African Americans and compare it to the published data from a larger series in Caucasians. |
