Disease course after admission. After admission, the patient received intravenous drip infusion of TAZ/PIPC; however, her fever, CRP level, and neck pain did not improve. On the 8th day of hospitalization, contrast-enhanced CT and cervical US showed vasculitis, and treatment with PSL 40 mg/day was started. On the 24th day, MRI of the head revealed SAH and vascular irregularity in the basilar artery. After contrast-enhanced CT and cervical US showed improvement in the vascular wall thickening, and the head MRI scan showed a trend toward improvement in the vascular irregularity, the patient was discharged on the 44th day.
