Methimazole-induced antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated diffuse alveolar haemorrhage in a Chinese woman with Graves' disease.
    Hong Kong medical journal = Xianggang yi xue za zhi, 2009, Volume: 15, Issue:3

    We report on a case of diffuse alveolar haemorrhage in a Chinese woman due to methimazole-induced antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies. A literature search for anti-thyroid drugs associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-induced diffuse alveolar haemorrhages is reviewed. Diffuse alveolar haemorrhage is a rare complication of thiourea agents and the treatment often requires corticosteroids or other immunosuppressants, together with withdrawal of the causative agent.

Methimazole-induced pulmonary hemorrhage associated with antimyeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody: a case report.
    Journal of the Formosan Medical Association = Taiwan yi zhi, 2001, Volume: 100, Issue:11

    Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis has been recently recognized in Graves' disease patients treated with antithyroid drugs. We describe the case of an 18-year-old girl who developed antimyeloperoxidase ANCA (MPO-ANCA)-positive vasculitis manifesting as a skin lesion and hemoptysis with hypoxic respiratory failure after taking methimazole. An open lung biopsy was consistent with acute capillaritis. Both skin and sural nerve biopsy showed lymphocytic vasculitis. Administration of steroid and plasmapheresis produced a good clinical response.
