Abstract
Patients refractory to initial steroid tapers and those eventually placed on IMT had increased CD68 cells per section. CD68+ macrophages and their location on the internal elastic lamina may predict disease severity in patients with presumed GCA. Our results suggest that this marker may expedite patient triaging to alternate treatment to the usual steroid therapy.
