The article presents two clinical cases of microscopic polyangiitis in patients with symptoms of glomerulonephritis with renal failure, which were preceded by such nonspecific symptoms as: abdominal syndrome, high blood pressure, arthralgia, myalgia, weight loss, uveitis, shortness of breath, general weakness. Clinical and laboratory-instrumental aspects of diseases are analyzed. Emphasized the feasibility of early diagnosis, adequate therapy appointment. The aim of the article is to show that only with timely prescribing of pathogenetic therapy it is possible to achieve clinical and laboratory remission and, even, to cease hemodialysis sessions. It was described two clinical cases of microscopic polyangiitis in patients with symptoms of glomerulonephritis with renal failure. Approaches to complex treatment of patients with the use of pathogenetic and the possibility of using renal replacement therapy were discussed. After verifying the diagnosis, all patients started immunosuppression with corticosteroids and cytostatics. It is shown that only with timely prescribing of pathogenetic therapy it is possible to achieve clinical and laboratory remission. Clinical examples demonstrate to physicians that systemic vasculitis can often hide under the «mask» of other diseases and require timely diagnosis and immediate pathogenetic treatment.
Introduction: The article describes the clinical case devoted to the features of the clinical course of Churg-Strauss syndrome (eosinophilic granulomatous with systemic necrotizing
vasculitis). Churg-Strauss syndrome is a disease that is rarely diagnosed because of presenting by high-variability clinical syndromes, that causes difficulties in diagnostic process,
especially on the first visit of patient to the general practioner.
The aim of the article is to show the clinical course feautures of the Churg-Strauss syndrome in the time of disease progression, as well as pecullarities and possibilities of
in-time diagnosis of this disease.
Clinical case: It was described a clinical case of Churg-Strauss syndrome in a 46-year-old woman, presenting with successively appeared signs of the disease that resulted in
some difficulties of making in-time diagnosis.
Conclusions: As Churg-Strauss syndrome is a low-spread disease presenting with high-variety of clinical signs and despite of the presence of clear diagnostic criterias Churg-Stross
syndrome was diagnosed with delay in this clinical setting. General practitioner should remember that if the disease debuts by the signs of pneumonia with further appearance
of signs of bronchial obstruction and eosinophilia, its necessary to perform diagnostic approaches with the aim to carry out the presence of the Churg-Strauss syndrome.
