Abstract
Objective: To present the case of an immunosuppressed patient who developed an autoimmune disease. Patients and methods: 30-year-old woman, immunosuppressed due to a history of orthotopic liver transplant, who developed intestinal infection by cytomegalovirus and alveolar haemorrhage. Results: Patient presented a positive serological finding for PR3 ANCA, classified as granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Due to her history, induction, and maintenance with an anti-CD20 were considered, with no further relapse over 6-month follow-up. Conclusion: Immunosuppressed patients have risk factors for developing autoimmune diseases.
