Abstract
Systemic hypersensitivity vasculitis developed in a 53-year-old man during acute exacerbation of bronchiectasis infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. High grade fever, mononeuropathy multiplex, cutaneous vasculitis, and biopsy specimen-proved mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis with crescent formation and leukocytoclastic vasculitis associated with circulating immune complex occurred. Corticosteroid and cyclophosphamide therapy was effective for vasculitis and bronchiectasis.
