Background: Propylthiouracil is an antithyroid medication that is associated with ANCA positivity, often in the absence of clinically overt vasculitis. Propylthiouracil-induced ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) is characterized by multiple antigenicity and presents similarly to other forms of drug-induced vasculitis.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a 49-year-old woman who developed propylthiouracil-induced AAV after 31 years of intermittent therapy.
