A 68-year-old Japanese woman with asthma of recent onset and a long history of membranous glomerulonephropathy (MN) was admitted because of multifocal pulmonary infiltrates, marked eosinophilia, mild renal dysfunction, a rash on her feet, and right median nerve paralysis. Although MPO- and PR3-ANCA were negative, skin biopsy demonstrated leukocytoclastic vasculitis and Churg-Strauss Syndrome (CSS) was diagnosed. She also had salivary gland swelling and a high serum IgG4 level. Renal biopsy revealed MN with eosinophil-rich tubulointerstitial nephropathy. Her symptoms resolved after the start of corticosteroid therapy. The present case shows that ANCA-negative CSS can have a clinical condition similar to IgG4-related kidney disease.
一名68岁的日本女性,近期患哮喘,有长期膜性肾小球肾病(MN)病史,因多灶性肺浸润、明显嗜酸性粒细胞增多、轻度肾功能不全、足部皮疹及右正中神经麻痹入院。尽管髓过氧化物酶(MPO)-抗中性粒细胞胞浆抗体(ANCA)和蛋白酶3(PR3)-ANCA均为阴性,但皮肤活检显示白细胞破碎性血管炎,诊断为变应性肉芽肿性血管炎(CSS)。她还出现唾液腺肿大及血清IgG4水平升高。肾活检显示MN合并富含嗜酸性粒细胞的肾小管间质性肾病。开始使用糖皮质激素治疗后,她的症状得到缓解。本病例表明,ANCA阴性的CSS可具有与IgG4相关性肾病相似的临床情况。
