Perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody positive glomerulonephritis in a case of limited cutaneous scleroderma

Perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis in an elderly woman.

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis encompasses 3 conditions: eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA; formerly named Churg-Strauss syndrome), granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA; formerly named Wegener granulomatosis), and microscopic polyangiitis.1 Diagnosing ANCA-associated small-vessel vasculitis is challenging for clinicians because of its infrequ...

Myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-positive crescentic glomerulonephritis associated with benzylthiouracil therapy: report of the first case.

Grave’s disease is a common form of autoimmune thyroiditis which has been successfully treated with anti-thyroid drugs for more than half a century. However, these drugs may cause major complications including agranulocytosis, hepatotoxicity and immunological disturbances such as lupus erythematosus syndrome. Anti myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA) mediated crescenti...
