Bronchiectasis as the Sentinel Manifestation of ANCA-Associated Vasculitis: A Case Report and Literature Review. (PubMed, Respirol Case Rep) - Oct 4, 2026 - "Induction with intravenous methylprednisolone and rituximab produced substantial renal recovery (eGFR nadir 23, stabilizing at 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at 15 months) and near-complete resolution of the pulmonary consolidations. This case describes an airway-first AAV phenotype. She met none of the trigger features that current guidelines use to prompt autoimmune screening, identifying a diagnostic blind spot in progressive culture-negative bronchiectasis without systemic features."
