ANCA-positive crescentic glomerulonephritis associated with minocycline therapy. American journal of kidney diseases : the official journal of the National Kidney Foundation, 2003, Volume: 42, Issue:2 Minocycline is an oral antibiotic widely used for the long-term treatment of acne and rheumatoid arthritis. A few patients develop antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) during minocycline therapy. In this report, the authors describe a case of severe pauci-immune crescentic and necrotizing glomerulonephritis associated with positive cytoplasmic ANCA (C-ANCA) titers and proteinase 3 (PR3) levels after minocycline therapy. Discontinuation of minocycline and initiation of immunosuppressive treatment resulted in improvement of renal function and decline in C-ANCA titers and PR3 levels. A high degree of suspicion, testing for ANCA titers, prompt discontinuation of the drug, and initiation of immunosuppressive treatment are crucial to the diagnosis and treatment of drug-induced ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis. Topics: Adult; Animals; Antibodies, Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic; Arthralgia; Arthritis, Rheumatoid; Autoimmune Diseases; Bites and Stings; Diagnostic Errors; Female; Glomerulonephritis; Humans; Immunosuppressive Agents; Minocycline; Myeloblastin; Serine Endopeptidases; Ticks	2003
Successful treatment of Nocardia asteroides infection with minocycline in kidney transplant patients. The Japanese journal of surgery, 1978, Volume: 8, Issue:2 Two cases of Noca dia asteroides infection were encountered out of 55 kidney transplant patients at Chiba University Hospital. One patient developed an extrapleural abscess and the other had a pulmonary infiltration with chest wall abscess. The patients were successfully treated by surgical drainage of the chest wall abscesses and by oral administration of minocycline. No adverse effects caused by minocycline were observed during the therapy. From 1900, when the first case of Nocardia infection was reported in Japan, there have been 60 cases reported in Japanese literature through 1973, including those we observed. This is the first report on nocardiosis in kidney transplant patients and on successful treatment of nocardiosis with minocycline in Japan.
