- Abstract
The development of antineutrophil cytoplasmatic antibody (ANCA) during therapy with propylthiouracil (PTU) is not uncommon but occasionally has clinical significance. Risk factors associated with the development of ANCA associated systemic vasculitis when taking PTU have been described. We report and discuss a case with PTU-induced ANCA vasculitis with severe systemic manifestations.
