AbstractClinicians should be aware that temporal arteritis in blacks has a clinical presentation similar to that found in the white population. Heightened clinical awareness of the possibility of temporal arteritis in black patients should lead to earlier diagnosis and initiation of immunosuppressive therapy, thus helping prevent the severe sequela of blindness that has been documented in about half of the cases of untreated temporal arteritis.
