| pubmed-article:3566015 | pubmed:abstractText | Vascular purpura and haemoptysis developed in a patient suffering from accelerated hypertension and rapidly progressive renal failure due to cholesterol embolism. Alveolar haemorrhage was diagnosed on the association of clinical and endoscopic results, and on the outcome of the disease. This syndrome is usually associated with other immunological disorders and raises the question of immunological phenomena being the cause of some of the clinical manifestations observed after cholesterol embolism. | lld:pubmed |
