Se presenta un caso de vasculitis sistémica necrotizante, hemorragia pulmonar difusa e insuficiencia renal en una paciente de 67 años con evolución en forma subaguda hacia la muerte.

Se comentan las distintas posibilidades diagnósticas de hemorragia pulmonar difusa e insuficiencia renal rápidamente progresiva para pasar a continuación a revisar los aspectos terapéuticos y diagnósticos de dicha entidad. Por último se propone, como otros autores, la denominación de un nuevo síndrome que nos recuerde que no todos los casos de hemorragia difusa e insuficiencia renal rápidamente progresiva se tratan de un síndrome de Goodspasture.

The authors describe a 67-year-old patient with necrotizing systemic vasculitis, diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage and renal insufficiency which resulted in a subacute fatal outcome.

The differential diagnosis for diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage and rapidly Progressive renal failure are discussed and diagnostic and therapeutic aspects reviewed.

In agreement with other authors, a new nomenclature is proposed for a new syndrome, in an attempt to underline that not all cases of diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage and rapidly Progressive renal failure correspond to Goodspasture's syndrome.
