Abstract:
Goodpasture s syndrome (GS) is an auto-immune disease that is part of the pulmonary-renal syndrome spectrum. It is characterized by the linear deposition of anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies (anti-GBM) in glomerular and alveolar basement membrane resulting in alveolar hemorrhage and progressive glomerulonephritis. An early diagnosis is important to decrease clinical morbidity. In the present work we illustrate a GS case initially diagnosed as Wegener s granulomatosis. The patient showed favorable clinical evolution with corticosteroid therapy associated with plasmapheresis and cyclophosphamide.

In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
