Abstract:
A retrospective analysis was carried out in 10 antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) positive patients treated with propylthiouracil (PTU). Six patients were diagnosed to be suffering from vasculitis via lung or renal biopsy. All 10 patients′ symptom disappeared and the titer of ANCA fell down after discontinuing PTU or using immunosuppressive agents.
