Chronic suppurative lung disease with associated vasculitis

I N Bruce et al. Postgrad Med J. 1995 Jan.

Abstract

We report a patient with chronic bronchiectasis who developed systemic vasculitis. The patient was initially treated with immunosuppression; however, the addition of antibiotic therapy improved control of her vasculitis and the need for immunosuppression was reduced. Chronic bronchial suppuration may have an aetiological role in the pathogenesis of this condition.
