Brief Report: In Search of a Candidate Pathogen for Giant Cell Arteritis: Sequencing‐Based Characterization of the Giant Cell Arteritis Microbiome
18 Mar 2014
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To characterize the microbiome of the temporal artery in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA), and to apply an unbiased and comprehensive shotgun sequencing-based approach to determine whether there is an enrichment of candidate pathogens in the affected tissue. METHODS: Temporal artery biopsy specimens were collected from patients at a single institution over a period of 4 years, and unbiased DNA...
