  • Title: [Acute necrotizing capillaritis in an adolescent dying from a a Goodpasture-like pulmonary-renal syndrome].
    Author: Maresi E, Becchina G, Orlando E, Ottoveggio G.
    Journal: Pathologica; 1995 Dec; 87(6):666-71. PubMed ID: 8927428.
    Abstract:
    In this report the authors describe a rare case of pulmonary/renal syndrome like-Goodpasture's disease characterized by a necrotizing acute capillaritis in the lung, kidney, liver, spleen and heart. In the heart the capillaritis was associated with a contiguous acute ischemic lesion. The clinical and pathologic findings of the case suggest that the presence of vasculitis should not exclude a diagnosis of Goodpasture's Syndrome and that the multisystemic capillaritis would demonstrate the organ-non-specificity of anti-glomerular/alveolar basement membrane antibody.
