  • Title: [Goodpasture's syndrome].
    Author: Shinjo SK, Hasegawa EM, Costa Malheiros DM, Levy-Neto M.
    Journal: Acta Reumatol Port; 2008; 33(2):220-3. PubMed ID: 18604188.
    Abstract:
    Goodpasture s syndrome (GS) is an auto-immune disease that is part of the pulmonary-renal syndrome spectrum. It is characterized by the linear deposition of anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies (anti-GBM) in glomerular and alveolar basement membrane resulting in alveolar hemorrhage and progressive glomerulonephritis. An early diagnosis is important to decrease clinical morbidity. In the present work we illustrate a GS case initially diagnosed as Wegener s granulomatosis. The patient showed favorable clinical evolution with corticosteroid therapy associated with plasmapheresis and cyclophosphamide.
