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.
