Conjugal temporal arteritis

S. L. Galetta, MD, E. C. Raps, MD, A. E. Wulc, MD, M. G. Farber, MD, G. L. Plock, MD, C. W. Nichols, MD and H. M. Friedman, MD

Departments of Neurology (Drs. Galetta, Raps, and Plock), Ophthalmology (Dis. Galetta, Wulc, Farber, and Nichols), Infectious Disease and the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (Dr. Friedman), University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA.

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.
