Abstract
MUNOZ GRAJALES, Carolina; MUNOZ MARTINEZ, Laura Carolina and ERASO GARNICA, Ruth María. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis in children: report of a case with kidney-lung syndrome. Iatreia [online]. 2013, vol.26, n.2, pp.207-214. ISSN 0121-0793.
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis as a cause of kidney-lung syndrome is uncommon in children. We report the case of a 13 year old patient with alveolar hemorrhage, rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, episcleritis and anti PR3. We refer to features of the ANCA-associated vasculitis in children and to its therapeutic approach.
