| Popis: | Background: Wagener's granulomatosis (WG) is a systemic necrotizing vasculitis characterized by upper and lower respiratory tract involvement and glomerulonephritis in most instances. Case Report: We report a 36 years old man with DAH secondary to WG, as the presenting feature. He successfully treated with standard immune suppressive agents including pulse methylprednisolone and cyclophospha-mide, along with tranexamic acid as adjunctive therapy for control of active bleeding. Laboratory results showed mild to moderate anemia, increased serum lactate dehydrogenase and very high c-ANCA titer. Chest radiograph showed bilateral alveolar infilterates. Conclusion: Diffuse Alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a dread complication of Wagener’s granulomatosis. Control of acute phase of hemorrhage with tranexamic acid can improve out come of patients. |
