Résumé
Relapses upon corticosteroids tapering and immunosuppressive agents are frequent in Takayasu arteritis (TA). Interleukin-6 is highly involved in physiopathology of TA. Many reports showed efficacy of tocilizumab (TCZ) in refractory TA cases. We report four cases and an updated literature review on the TCZ efficacy and safety in patients with TA.
