Pulmonary manifestations of systemic vasculitis in childhood

Abstract: The systemic vasculitides are a heterogenous group of rare conditions with an incompletely understood aetiology. Any of the systemic vasculitides may cause respiratory disease, but some conditions are more likely to affect the pulmonary system, often through pulmonary infarction and diffuse alveolar haemorrhage. These conditions are often difficult to diagnose due to their rarity and significant clinical overlap with common respiratory conditions. Prompt diagnosis and management can significantly reduce morbid… Show more

“…The most common age of onset is in early teenage years, although some children present in infancy. Lung involvement, considered to be a hallmark of MPA and GPA, is associated with increased morbidity and mortality -in one cohort of 28 patients, half of children required ICU admission and one third of these admissions were for respiratory failure, with five patient requiring mechanical ventilation [131][132][133].…”

“…In pediatric GPA, pulmonary involvement can range from asymptomatic with radiographic abnormalities (a prior report noted 41% of radiographic abnormalities found in patients with pediatric GPA were observed in asymptomatic patients [135]) to presentation with fulminant DAH [133]. In the ARChiVe cohort, including 183 patients with pediatric GPA, 74% had pulmonary involvement, with 54% reporting chronic cough and 42% with massive hemoptysis or alveolar hemorrhage [136,137].…”
