Cryptogenic Organizing Pneumonia Secondary to Mycoplasma pneumoniae Infection: A Case Report.

Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP), previously known as bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP), is a serious lung disease that can cause significant and long-term damage to the distal respiratory tract. Here we describe an unusual case in which an adult patient with recent mycoplasma pneumonia developed worsening lower airway disease despite initiation of multiple antibiotic therapies, illustrating the immunological effects related to infections. It is critical that clinicians learn how to recognize early signs of COP in order to tailor appropriate therapy, reduce morbidity, and improve quality of life.

Overlap of Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis and IgA Nephropathy.

Acute glomerulonephritis is a constellation of renal disorders which are precipitated by an immunologic mechanism triggering inflammation and proliferation of glomerular tissue resulting in damage to the basement membrane, mesangium, or capillary endothelium. Two of the most well-known manifestations of glomerulonephritis are granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and IgA nephropathy (IgAN). To our knowledge, these diseases are often found separately and are rarely diagnosed in the same patient.
