Résumé
A 57-year-old female presented with sudden shortness of breath and migratory pulmonary infiltrates on imaging, which corresponds with a diagnosis of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia. Initial treatment with corticosteroids showed only mild improvement during follow-up. BAL was performed and revealed diffuse alveolar hemorrhage. Immune testing showed positive P-ANCA with positive MPO, leading to a diagnosis of microscopic polyangiitis.
