Tachyarrhythmias in Microscopic Polyangitis Responding Well to Plasmapharesis Treatment
Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is a form of anti neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody associated necrotizing vasculitis, which may present with a variety of clinical manifestations. Cardiac involvement in vaculitis is common and the manifestations usually include cardiomyopathy, pericarditis and arrhythmias. Our patient presented with dyspnea, hemoptysis and acute kidney injury. The patient develo...
متن کاملFamilial vasculitides: granulomatosis with polyangitis and microscopic polyangitis in two brothers with differing anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody specificity
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a group of rare autoimmune diseases. Although the aetiology of AAV is uncertain, it is likely that genetic and environmental factors contribute. We report the unusual case of two brothers presenting with AAV with differing clinical pictures and differing ANCA specificity. There is a recently identified difference in geneti...

متن کاملThe significance of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody in microscopic polyangitis and classic polyarteritis nodosa.
AIMS To describe the distribution and features of classic polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) and microscopic polyarteritis (MPA) and the importance of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) in childhood PAN. METHODS Classic PAN was diagnosed in 15 patients based on the presence of aneurysms on angiography in 10 patients and of necrotising vasculitis in medium sized arteries in five. MPA was diagn...
متن کاملThrombotic microangiopathy due to malignant hypertension following corticosteroid therapy for microscopic polyangitis.
A 78-year-old woman was treated with 40 mg of prednisolone for microscopic polyangitis, and favorable effects were observed. However, her blood pressure increased and she developed severe thrombocytopenia. Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) due to malignant hypertension was suspected and she was treated with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; her platelet count then rose. She showed a cl...
