Pulmonary vasculitis comprises a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by an inflammatory process damaging the vessel wall, leading to ischaemia and tissue necrosis. Wegener’s granulomatosis, Churg–Strauss syndrome, and microscopic polyangiitis are primary, small-vessel, necrotizing vasculitides linked by an overlapping clinicopathological picture and are referred to collectively as ANCA-associated systemic vasculitis. The European Vasculitis Study Group proposed a clinical staging system based on disease activity, to guide treatment.

<p>Microscopic polyangiitis presents in unique ways with systemic manifestations. The disease is seen classically in elderly population and has atypical presentation in children and adolescents. We present a case of young adult who presented with recurrent iron deficiency anemia because of microscopic polyangiitis. We present the case for obscure presentation of a rare disease with a common manifestation.</p>

Classification And Treatment

This is the first description that we are aware of describing the spontaneous resolution of an acute pulmonary vasculitis, possibly secondary to microscopic polyangiitis. Haemoptysis is a common symptom for patients presenting to primary and tertiary referral centres, and pulmonary vasculitis is one of a variety of aetiologies that should always be considered. The pulmonary vasculitides are difficult diagnostic and management problems. They are encumbered by a relative paucity of level 1 evidence addressing their diagnosis, classification, and treatment. This is therefore an important paper to publish because it adds to the global breadth of experience with this important clinical condition.
