    Pulmonary vasculitis, a rare complication of ulcerative colitis, was diagnosed twice in one patient during disease flares. Open lung biopsy is key for diagnosis, with corticosteroids recommended for initial treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Gastroenterology
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
    • Pulmonary vasculitis is an uncommon extraintestinal manifestation of UC.
    • This case highlights the infrequent association between UC flares and pulmonary vasculitis.

    Observation:

    • A patient with ulcerative colitis experienced biopsy-proven pulmonary vasculitis on two separate occasions.
    • Both instances of pulmonary vasculitis coincided with active flares of ulcerative colitis.
    • The diagnostic process involved open lung biopsy for definitive confirmation.

    Findings:

    • Pulmonary vasculitis can recur in patients with ulcerative colitis, correlating with disease activity.
    • Open lung biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosing pulmonary vasculitis.

  • Corticosteroid therapy is a suggested initial management strategy.

    • Implications:

    • Early recognition of pulmonary vasculitis in UC patients is crucial.
    • This case underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing complex UC complications.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis and optimal treatment of pulmonary vasculitis in IBD is warranted.
