✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Goodpasture's syndrome rarely affects children. Therefore, we present our experience in a young boy whose pulmonary hemorrhage was dramatically resolved by three plasma exchanges. We believe the hemorrhage was caused primarily by acute capillaritis. He received cytoxan and steroids and a series of plasma exchanges which removed/suppressed his anti‐glomerular basement membrane (anti‐GBM) antibody production. However, after a year, his renal function did not return, and he required renal transplantation and continues to do well.

Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is a standard treatment in Guillain-Barre ´syndrome. TPE may require exogenous fluid for replacement of plasma and, depending on the equipment used, varying extracorporeal volumes. Potential adverse effects include allergic reaction, infection, and hypotension. From
