Abstract:
:Most of the purported links between microbial agents and primary small-vessel anti-neutrophilic antibody-positive (ANCA) vasculitides remain speculative. There is strong circumstantial evidence for the role of Staphylococcus aureus in the development of Wegener's granulomatosis, but its role in other ANCA-positive vasculitis syndromes is less clear. We describe a patient who developed a non-granulomatous, necrotizing small-vessel vasculitis with a positive anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody of a perinuclear type (p-ANCA), along with anti-myeloperoxidase antibodies after recurrent episodes of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia.
