Microscopic polyangiitis with isolated cardiopulmonary involvement: A case report
This case suggests that MPA may present with isolated cardiopulmonary involvement as the initial manifestation without typical renal damage. Clinicians should consider MPA in patients with refractory interstitial pneumonia, pleural effusion, and myeloperoxidase ANCA positivity. Early immunosuppressive therapy may reverse organ damage and improve outcomes.
