摘要
A 69-year-old man with sensorineural hearing loss and iritis was diagnosed with atypical Cogan's syndrome. He had several systematic manifestations: aortitis, meningitis, panniculitis and seronegative arthritis. Remission induced by treatment with high doses of prednisolone was followed by relapse within 1 year. Although his condition was resistant to various immunosuppressive drugs, including methotrexate, cyclosporine, azathioprine and adalimumab, his symptoms, inflammatory response and quality of life measures were successfully improved by tocilizumab, a humanized anti-interleukin-6 receptor antibody.
