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...
متن کاملDiffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage Associated with Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody levels in a Pregnant Woman Taking Propylthiouracil
Propylthiouracil (PTU) is known to be a potential cause of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) positive small vessel vasculitis, resulting in glomerulonephritis and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH). Herein, we describe a 25-year-old pregnant woman who developed a perinulcear ANCA (p-ANCA) and myeloperoxidase ANCA (MPO-ANCA) positive DAH during PTU therapy. The patient improved after cor...
متن کاملNecrotizing and crescentic glomerulonephritis with membranous nephropathy in a patient exposed to levamisole-adulterated cocaine
Levamisole is an antihelminthic agent widely used as an adulterant of illicit cocaine recently implicated as a cause of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated microscopic polyangiitis in cocaine abusers. An isolated case of membranous nephropathy (MN) associated with levamisole exposure has also been reported. We report the first case, to our knowledge, of a patient with both mic...
متن کاملAntineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies in patients with systemic sclerosis.
Perinuclear type of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (p-ANCA) have been found in patients with periarteritis nodosa, Churg-Strauss arteritis, or pauci-immune idiopathic crescentic glomerulonephritis. Recently, the association of p-ANCA and normotensive renal failure, in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc), was reported. We have studied the incidence of p-ANCA in patients with SSc and ha...
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 ...
