Propylthiouracil-induced alveolar haemorrhage associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody.
Propylthiouracil (PTU) is known to cause vasculitis as a rare complication. We report the case of a patient who developed alveolar haemorrhage and haematuria whilst treated with PTU. The serum was positive for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) with myeloperoxidase (MPO) specificity (MPO-ANCA). All symptoms resolved completely after discontinuation of PTU. Alveolar haemorrhage or pulmon...
متن کاملEpitope analysis of anti-myeloperoxidase antibodies in propylthiouracil-induced antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis
INTRODUCTION Increasing evidence has suggested that linear epitopes of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) directed to myeloperoxidase (MPO) might provide clues to the pathogenesis of propylthiouracil (PTU)-induced ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). This study mapped epitopes of MPO-ANCA in sera from patients with PTU-induced MPO-ANCA (with or without vasculitis) and primary AAV, aiming t...
متن کاملIntractable otitis media as a diagnostic clue to antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody‐associated vasculitis
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) presents a variety of manifestations. Two patients with a history of intractable otitis media were diagnosed as having AAV. One was an 87-year-old woman who presented with cough, anorexia, and fever with a one-year and four-month history of otitis media, and the other was a 65-year-old woman with arthritis that appeared after the d...
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 ...
متن کاملAntineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-positive cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis associated with propylthiouracil therapy.
A dministration of propylthiouracil therapy has been associated with a hypersensitivity syndrome that typically manifests as vasculitis. Most cases of propylthiouracil therapy– induced antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) positivity react to perinuclear ANCA (p-ANCA). We describe a patient who presented with cutaneous manifestations of propylthiouracil therapy hypersensitivity vasculitis ...
