Kresten Krarup Keller, MD, PhD is an associate professor at Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University and a rheumatologist at Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark. His clinical focus is patients with vasculitis and his research areas are especially clinical research in polymyalgia rheumatica with focus on suspected disease, imaging and treatment strategies.
Frequent use of vascular ultrasonography and positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) increase the possibility of encountering a patient with solely symptoms of PMR (no cranial symptoms), but giant cell arteritis (GCA) confirmed with imaging. This group of PMR patients with so-called subclinical large vasculitis represents a clinical challenge.
