Greetings! For our second session of #RheumJC for the year on Thursday, February 25, 2016, we will be discussing a recent article from the journal Neurology which may offer insights into the pathophysiology of giant cell arteritis titled “Prevalence and distribution of VZV in temporal arteries of patients with giant cell arteritis” by Gilden, D. et al.
We will again have two one-hour sessions at 9pm GMT (4pm EST) and 3am GMT (10pm EST).
We greatly thank the editors of the journal Neurology, who have agreed to make the article open-access from February 18 through February 25, 2016 using this link: http://www.neurology.org/content/84/19/1948.short?sid=82de0570-ac50–41e6–998b–6e72904f7bd8
