Mycobacterium avium Complex Lung Disease Complicated With Antiglomerular Basement Membrane Disease: A Case Report

While both Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung diseases and antiglomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) antibody disease may cause hemoptysis, no case presenting hemoptysis having both diseases has been reported. A woman in her 80s was admitted due to hemoptysis with acute respiratory failure. MA...

Sumario:While both Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung diseases and antiglomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) antibody disease may cause hemoptysis, no case presenting hemoptysis having both diseases has been reported. A woman in her 80s was admitted due to hemoptysis with acute respiratory failure. MAC was isolated from her sputum, and a positive report for anti-GBM antibody was confirmed in screening for hematuria. This patient has been successfully treated with systemic corticosteroid therapy followed by combination chemotherapy against MAC. Although anti-GBM disease is a rare condition, screening might be recommended in case of uncontrollable hemoptysis as MAC lung disease with hematuria.
