[online]. 2019, vol.35, n.3, pp.448-453.  Epub 05-Mar-2021. ISSN 0186-4866.  https://doi.org/10.24245/mim.v35i3.2334.

In the literature there have been reported multiple cases of persons who have at the same time the diagnosis of Takayasu’s arteritis and ankylosing spodylitis, these inflam- matory diseases with inconclusive autoimmune component. This is the reason why in this article we present the case of a man that had been under treatment for ankylosing spondylitis confirmed by HLA-B27, who also had vitiligo. One week before his death, patient suffered precordial pain with treatment at hospital under vasodilator drug. During the intake of food in a restaurant patient had sudden respiratory distress and tegumentary pallor, arriving at hospital care with the presumptive diagnosis of food poisoning that caused death, for which a necropsy was performed and ruled out this diagnostic possibility.

Palabras llave : Arteritis; Ankylosing spondylitis; Stenosis; Sudden death.
