Description
Amanda Gormley and Peter Green report a vasculitis case that mimicked a skin disease in this 2024 paper. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis inflames small and medium blood vessels across organs. Its many faces make diagnosis tricky and slow.
Their patient showed skin ulcers like those of pyoderma gangrenosum across systems. The kidneys were spared, and the usual antibody test came back negative. That antibody is positive in about ninety percent of true cases. The authors warn that a negative result must not rule the disease out. Skin ulcers with airway or lung signs should raise suspicion for this vasculitis early, since treatment delay costs organs and life.
