RESUMO
Vasculitis with pulmonary involvement is often associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA). We describe a case involving a 66-year-old male patient diagnosed with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA). Following the onset of hemoptysis, bronchoscopy revealed endobronchial ulcers correlated with GPA. Bronchial biopsies and bronchoalveolar lavage identified Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), which is associated with GPA relapses. The patient began immunosuppression to induce remission, and Avacopan was subsequently introduced for the treatment of GPA and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA).
