Conjugal temporal arteritis

S L Galetta et al. Neurology. 1990 Dec.

Abstract

We report the simultaneous occurrence of biopsy-proven temporal arteritis in husband and wife. Serologic and viral studies were negative, including viral culture of the wife's temporal artery. The concurrent incidence of giant cell arteritis in a married couple would suggest a common exogenous exposure.
