We report herein a case of microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), presenting onset with a spiking fever, liver/biliary dysfunction without jaundice and calf pain without elevation of serum creatine phosphokinase. During 1 month of careful examinations for initial diagnosis, the patient developed renal
Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is a rare systemic disease that usually presents as a pulmonary-renal syndrome. We describe 35-year-old men who presented with hemoptysis and bilateral alveolar opacities of the upper part of both lungs. The CT scan showed alveolar and round-glass opacities with a
A 69-year-old man was referred to our hospital with fever. Interstitial pneumonia and right pleural effusion were noted with elevated MPO-ANCA. Video-assisted thoracoscopic lung biopsy was performed and UIP -like histology was obtained. His symptoms and chest X-ray finding improved with
An 82-year-old female was referred to our hospital because of low-grade fever, anemia, and rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome. Her laboratory data showed mild proteinuria, mild renal failure, and the presence of myeloperoxidase-specific anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody. A skin biopsy
OBJECTIVE
To analyze clinical features of patients with microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) associated with peripheral neuropathy (PN).
METHODS
The clinical data of 37 (44.6%) hospitalized MPA patients associated with PN in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2008 to January 2014 was
We encountered an 84-year-old woman with microscopic polyangiitis who was found to have pancreatitis on autopsy. The patient was admitted to Yamanashi University Hospital because of fever and progressive renal failure. She was diagnosed with anti-myeloperoxidase (MPO)-antineutrophil cytoplasmic
A 20-year-old Caribbean woman with sickle cell anaemia was admitted with a 4-day history of fever and a painful swollen right ankle. She rapidly developed skin necrosis. The differential diagnosis is discussed. This case illustrates the difficulty in identifying the cause of cutaneous necrosis in an
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the influence of the age at disease onset on the clinical symptoms, laboratory findings, treatment, and complications of microscopic polyangiitis (MPA).
METHODS
From 1999 to 2001, we encountered 4 MPA patients with disease onset at age 65 or older (average 77.3, all were
BACKGROUND
Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) is a rare entity of unknown etiology. It usually occurs in the context of smoking and, less commonly, connective tissue disease. However, it has been rarely previously described in the context of vasculitis.
METHODS
We report a case of CPFE
A young girl presented with a purpuric rash on lower limbs, fever, eosinophilia, peripheral neuropathy and progressive renal insufficiency. She developed vesicles, purpuric macules and papules on the head, several nodules on the palmar sides of hands and fingers, splinter haemorrhages, and a
We report a case of microscopic polyangiitis (mPA) and giant cell arteritis (GCA) (polyangiitis overlap syndrome) after influenza vaccination. A 67-year-old female with chronic kidney disease, who had been observed by a physician, presented fever and headache after immunization of influenza vaccine.
We encountered a case of interstitial pneumonia preceding microscopic polyangiitis (MPA). A 64-year-old asymptomatic woman was found to have interstitial pneumonia on a chest radiograph taken during a work-up before an operation for cataract. Six months later she presented with non-productive cough,
Microscopic polyangiitis is a rare, systemic, necrotizing, pauci-immune, ANCA associated small vessel vasculitis, with no evidence of granulomatous inflammation. Diagnosing microscopic polyangiitis is often difficult because of it´s presentation by a number of non-specific symptoms. We treated a
