  • Title: [Relapsing polychondritis].
    Author: Butt S, Munch EP.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2010 Mar 01; 172(9):714-6. PubMed ID: 20199752.
    Abstract:
    A case of relapsing polychondritis in a 55-year-old man is described. The patient had suffered from recurrent pneumonia, bilateral auricular chondritis, unilateral hearing loss, skin lesions and an erosive seronegative polyarthritis. Biochemically, anemia, an elevated ESR and periodically elevated levels of C-reactive protein were present. A pulmonary function test showed an obstructive pattern. A computed tomography of the thorax and a bronchoscopy revealed tracheobronchial stenosis. The patient was treated with corticosteroids/methotrexate and ultimately a tracheobronchial stent due to worsened respiratory involvement.
