Abstract

A 51-year-old man, worker, with chronic bronchiectasia had purpura on both lower extremities and forearms. The laboratory findings showed that total serum protein was normal but gammaglobulin was increased, erythrocyte sedimentation rate was elevated, RA factor and Rumpel-Leede were positive, LE test, LE cells and ANF were negative. Histological findings were that of necrotizing vasculitis. We suspected that the geneins of this case was chronic inflammation of bronchus. We treated the purpura with glucocorticoids, ACTH and azathiopurine, but had no significant effects on purpura and laboratory findings.
