  • Title: Pulmonary capillaritis with hemorrhage due to propylthiouracil therapy in a child.
    Author: Pirot AL, Goldsmith D, Pascasio J, Beck SE.
    Journal: Pediatr Pulmonol; 2005 Jan; 39(1):88-92. PubMed ID: 15532087.
    Abstract:
    We report on a case of pulmonary capillaritis with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage in a child due to propylthiouracil (PTU). PTU treatment is a rare cause of pulmonary capillaritis in adults; we report on the first case in a pediatric patient. The treatment of pulmonary capillaritis often requires corticosteroid therapy, other immunosuppressive medications, or withdrawal of the causative agent. Our patient recovered completely after treatment with a limited course of corticosteroids and removal of PTU.
