Bacterial endocarditis manifesting as autoimmune pulmonary renal syndrome: ANCA-associated lung hemorrhage and pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis  .

We present a case of infectious endocarditis that presented with pulmonary renal syndrome but had positive ANCA serology and a pauci-immune glomerulonephritis picture on kidney biopsy that posed diagnostic difficulty. Factors most helpful in differentiating between the two conditions are highlighted as well as treatment options. . PMID: 30369400 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
