Clinical consequences of AAV. (a) Diffuse alveolar haemorrhage. (b) Nail fold infarction and splinter haemorrhages. (c) Nasal bridge collapse resulting from chronic, erosive inflammation in the upper airways. Delayed diagnosis can result in permanent disability/deformity and early mortality. Manifestations of advanced disease such as a “saddle nose” deformity are relatively rare but can still occur if a diagnosis of AAV is missed (these images are not directly related to the case study in this article)
