Necrotizing ANCA-Positive Glomerulonephritis Secondary to Culture-Negative Endocarditis

Necrotizing ANCA-Positive Glomerulonephritis Secondary to Culture-Negative Endocarditis

Infective endocarditis (IE) and small-vessel vasculitis may have similar clinical features, including glomerulonephritis. Furthermore the association between IE and ANCA positivity is well documented, making differential diagnosis between IE- and ANCA-associated vasculitis particularly difficult, es...
