Antineutrophilic Cytoplasmic Antibody Positive Vasculitis Associated with Methimazole Use
ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a rare and potentially life threatening complication associated with antithyroid drug use. It is more commonly reported with propylthiouracil, with fewer cases reported with methimazole use. We present the case of a 55-year-old man with toxic multinodular goiter which was treated with methimazole for 6 months. He developed ANCA positive leukocytoclastic vascu...
متن کاملHLA-B52-positive Aortitis with Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-associated Vasculitis
A 73-year-old man presented with a 1-month history of fever and numbness of the bilateral upper and lower extremities. Laboratory tests showed positive myeloperoxidaseantineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) results (296 U/ mL). Computed tomography (CT) showed wall thickening in the thoracic aorta and common carotid arteries (Picture A), and gallium single-photon emission CT/CT showed accumul...
متن کاملPossibly propylthiouracil-induced antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis manifested as blood coagulation disorders
BACKGROUND Propylthiouracil is the most common drug used to treat hyperthyroidism. However, this drug could cause a severe disease, antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV), which was usually misdiagnosed. METHODS We reported a 60-year-old woman of propylthiouracil-induced AAV manifested as blood coagulation disorders. The patient was admitted because of hyperthyroidi...
متن کاملAntineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis with hypocomplementemia has a higher incidence of serious organ damage and a poor prognosis
A relationship between antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) and complement has been shown, and complement has an important role in the pathogenesis of AAV. The clinical characteristics of AAV with hypocomplementemia still remain unclear.We conducted an observational study of 81 patients with AAV (median onset age 71 years; 58% female). Using medical records, ...
متن کاملTreatment of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The primary idiopathic small-vessel vasculitis syndromes include granulomatosis with polyangiitis, Churg-Strauss syndrome, and microscopic polyangiitis. These disorders are commonly referred to as antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides and prominently affect the pulmonary vasculature. Although significant progress has been made in the management of ...
