[Goodpasture syndrome--diagnostic problems].

This article describes a case of a 44-year-old male patient, with history, of tuberculosis who was admitted to the hospital with high temperature, coughing, haemoptysis, arterial hypertension and end-stage renal failure. In the differential diagnosis of haemoptysis we took into account pneumonia, exacerbation of tuberculosis, pulmonary neoplasm and Goodpasture syndrome. Presence of antibodies against the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) and histopathologic examination of biopsy specimen confirmed the diagnosis of Goodpasture syndrome.
