Does low risk of infections as a marker of effective immunity predict increased risk of subsequent giant cell arteritis or polymyalgia rheumatica? A Danish population-based case–control study

OBJECTIVE: It has been suggested that a hyper-effective immune system (“hyper-immunity”) is central to the pathogenesis of giant cell arteritis and polymyalgia rheumatica (GCA/PMR).
