Pulmonary fibrosis and microscopic polyangiitis in a 75-year-old woman.

We present a case of a 75-year-old woman who admitted in the internal medicine department for a recent onset of persisting moderate daily fever and fatigue that started 30 days prior to her hospitalization. Her past medical history is remarkable for mild pulmonary fibrosis, megaloblastic anaemia, and hypergammaglobulinaemia of no obvious causes. On presentation, she was febrile (38°C) and had high ESR and CRP levels, but most of her laboratory tests were within normal levels and had no signs of arthritis or rash.
