ABSTRACT
Background@#ANCA-associated vasculitis and its subtypes have been associated with pulmonary manifestations, with bronchiectasis being a unique clinical presentation.@*Case Summary@# We report the case of a 26-year-old Filipino male who presented with progressive dyspnea, neuropathic pain, and purpuric rash. Diagnostic evaluation revealed upper lobe bronchiectasis and lower lobe pneumonia, as well as hematuria and proteinuria. ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) and tuberculosis were considered. There was improvement of dyspnea, cough and rashes with antibiotics, glucocorticoids (GC), and anti-TB coverage. However, neuropathic pain progressed to the upper and lower extremities with development of weakness. Anti-myeloperoxidase (MPO) Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody (ANCA) was positive, Electromyography-Nerve Conduction Velocity (EMG-NCV) revealed diffuse sensorimotor axonal polyradiculopathy of both upper and lower extremities. Cyclophosphamide was then given. The patient gradually regained his motor strength while sensory deficits persisted. He was referred to rehabilitation medicine for physical therapy and eventually discharged. This case highlights vasculitis as an associated extrapulmonary manifestation of bronchiectasis, and the possible role of bronchiectasis in the immune-mediated pathogenesis of ANCA- associated vasculitides.
