Review Case Reports
Microscopic polyangiitis presenting urticarial erythema and Henoch-Schonlein purpura: two case reports.
Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is well known as a life-threatening member of a group of systemic vasculitis diseases. We report two cases of MPA. Case 1 was a 79-year-old-man who had been diagnosed with anti-neutrophil-cytoplasmic-antibody associated vasculitis (ANCA associated vasculitis) with alveolar hemorrhage and crescentric glomerulonephritis (CrGN). ⋯ He also suffered from interstinal pneumonia. His renal biopsy specimens showed glomerulosclerosis and the peripheral pattern anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (P-ANCA) was positive. We reviewed the skin eruptions that had been reported with MPA, including our cases.
