Pulmonary vascular involvement in Behçet's disease is a rare complication with a poor prognosis. We present an autopsy case of vasculo-Behçet's disease complicated by pulmonary hemorrhage, possibly caused by rupture of pulmonary artery aneurysms. The patient was treated with a combination of high-dose steroids and pulse cyclophosphamide, but he died from massive hemoptysis. This case highlights the need for potent new therapies for patients with vasculo-Behçet's disease refractory to conventional immunosuppressive therapy, such as a combination of steroids and cyclophosphamide.
白塞病的肺血管受累是一种罕见的并发症,预后较差。我们报告一例血管型白塞病尸检病例,该病例并发肺出血,可能由肺动脉瘤破裂所致。患者接受了大剂量类固醇和脉冲环磷酰胺联合治疗,但死于大量咯血。该病例凸显了对于传统免疫抑制治疗(如类固醇和环磷酰胺联合治疗)难治的血管型白塞病患者,需要有效的新治疗方法。
