[Atypic hemolytic uremic syndrome taken for Goodpasture's syndrome: A case report].

Abstract

We report the case of a patient suffering from atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome with inaugural intra-alveolar hemorrhage. Clinical features and detection of circulating anti-glomerular basal membrane antibodies first raise the possibility of a Goodpasture syndrome. Renal biopsy allows to correct the diagnosis. Partial remission is obtained thanks to specific care and eculizumab infusions.
