pubmed:abstractText
We describe 2 patients with pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis and elevated titers of perinuclear and cytoplasmic anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (P-ANCA and C-ANCA) which were associated with both 29 and 59 kD bands on Western blots. The presence of C-ANCA corresponds with a clinical and/or histological diagnosis of Wegener's granulomatosis, but although both patients suffered from pulmonary complications there was no clinical nor histological evidence of granulomatosis. Transbronchial lung biopsy showed only interstitial pneumonia and old hemorrhage. Therefore, the patients' conditions were interpreted as microscopic polyarteritis nodosa or hitherto undefined vasculitis associated with ANCA.
