متن کاملAntineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody mediated glomerulonephritis associated with levamisole-adulterated cocaine
Levamisole-adulterated cocaine has increased in prevalence over the last decade and is known to be associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA). Dermatologic manifestations of levamisole exposure, including cutaneous vasculitis, are widely appreciated; less is known about its effects on the kidney. We report two cases of patients with a history of cocaine abuse and levamisole-in...
