Abstract：Takayasu arteritis is the most common large vessel vasculitis during childhood.In comparison to the diagnosis,the treatment for pediatric TAK is more challenging,and treatment strategy often refers to adult guidelines.In recent years,several academic organizations have updated their recommendations on the diagnosis and treatment of TAK,and the status of targeted drugs has gradually become more prominent,with a tendency from"salvage treatment"to"early intervention".Based on the recommendations of these guidelines/consensuses and recent studies,this article summarizes and sorts out the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric TAK in order to provide references for pediatricians' clinical decision-making;meanwhile,it is expected to conduct more researches on childhood TAK to improve the status of insufficient evidence-based evidence.
