Successful treatment of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated bronchiectasis with immunosuppressive therapy.
While the 2008 chest CT scan only exhibited bi-basilar micronodules, the chest CT scan performed in 2010 revealed bi-apical ground-glass opacities with a crazy paving pattern with interlobular septal thickening (fig. 1a) and bilateral cylindrical bronchiectasis with thickening of the bronchial wall, which appeared on lung bases (fig. 1a). The bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), obtained during a fibr...

A 47-year-old woman developed pulmonary hemorrhage and an increase in proteinuria during remission of membranous nephropathy. Renal biopsy revealed crescentic glomerulonephritis. She also had a high perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody level, so a diagnosis of myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated glomerulonephritis was made. After immunosuppressive therapy w...
متن کاملPlasma exchange in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis--a 25-year perspective.
Demonstration of a pathogenic role for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) underlies the scientific rationale for plasma exchange (PLEX) in the treatment of ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). Most clinical evidence of efficacy concerns the use of PLEX for the recovery of renal function in severe nephritis, when used in conjunction with immunosuppressive drug therapy. The development of ...
متن کاملAntineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies in Patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Background: Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Infection with this bacterium is known to induce the development of autoantibodies of which a few are also known to be diagnostic markers for some other diseases. Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies (ANCA's) are among those autoantibodies used in clinical setting for diagnosing systemic vasculitic sy...
متن کاملMethimazole-induced antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated diffuse alveolar haemorrhage in a Chinese woman with Graves' disease.
We report on a case of diffuse alveolar haemorrhage in a Chinese woman due to methimazole-induced antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies. A literature search for anti-thyroid drugs associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-induced diffuse alveolar haemorrhages is reviewed. Diffuse alveolar haemorrhage is a rare complication of thiourea agents and the treatment often requires corticoste...

We herein report an unusual case of an infected descending aortic pseudoaneurysm with luminal pathognomonic oscillating vegetation with serological findings and clinical features mimicking anti-proteinase 3-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis. The positive blood cultures and imaging findings, including a pseudoaneurysm and vegetations in the aorta, suggested the presence o...
