Abstract
We treated PR3-ANCA positive vasculitis patient with bilateral ischemic
peroneal nerve paralysis accompanying rheumatoid arthritis. Pathology
showed mild vasculitis. With PR3-ANCA amelioration, the level of
complement 3, anti-CCP and neurological disability normalized
simultaneously responding to rituximab. This result means the shared
pathogenic pathway of PR3-ANCA vasculitis and rheumatoid arthritis.16 Apr 2020Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 01 May 2020Submission Checks Completed
