Abstract
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-related vasculitis syndromes are a heterogeneous group of auto-immune vasculitic disorders that cause necrotiz- ing inflammation in small vessels. Although the un- derlying causes are not clear, genetic and environ- mental factors are thought to play a major role. Meanwhile, chronic airway diseases are frequently reported to accompany vasculitic syndromes. Here we present a case with preexisting childhood asthma and bronchiectasis that developed microscopic poly- angiitis years after the onset of airway diseases that were assumed to be secondary to his preexisting airway conditions.
Özet
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) ilişkili vaskülit sendromları klinik olarak heterojen olan otoimmün, nekrotizan ve küçük damarları tutan vas- külitlerdir. Etyolojisi tam olarak bilinmemesine rağ- men genetik ve çevresel faktörler suçlanmaktadır. Ayrıca kronik havayolu hastalıkları ile vaskülitler sık- lıkla birlikte rapor edilmişlerdir. Burada çocukluğun- dan beri astım ve bronşektazileri olan ve yıllar sonra bu havayolu hastalıklarına sekonder olarak mikros- kopik polianjitis geliştiği düşünülen bir olguyu sunmayı amaçladık.
