Bronchiectasis as the Sentinel Manifestation of ANCA‐Associated Vasculitis: A Case Report and Literature Review

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
A 74‐year‐old woman was treated for 7 years as culture‐negative bronchiectasis before palpable purpura, haemoptysis, and acute kidney injury revealed MPO‐ANCA vasculitis with pauci‐immune crescentic glomerulonephritis. Rituximab‐based induction produced near‐complete resolution of the pulmonary consolidations and sustained clinical remission at 15 ...
