Description |
At NANOS 2011 we presented data establishing an association between a strain of Burkholderia pseudomallei and giant cell arteritis (GCA). This strain is sensitive to minocycline and doxycycline in vitro. We are treating a cohort of GCA patients with a course of minocycline or doxycycline in addition to steroids to determine if antibiotic treatment is an effective adjuvant in the treatment of this disease. |
