Propylthiouracil-induced Otitis Media with Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-associated Vasculitis.
Internal Medicine 2018 October 16
We herein report a case of otitis media with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (OMAAV) induced by propylthiouracil (PTU). A 30-year-old Japanese woman with Graves' disease, who was treated with PTU, reported with otitis media with sensorineural hearing loss bilaterally and trigeminal neuralgia on the left side, as well as elevated serum levels of myeloperoxidase-ANCA. Prior treatment with antibiotics was ineffective even after tympanostomy. However, clinical remission was immediately achieved after initiating prednisolone together with PTU withdrawal. These findings suggest that PTU therapy induces localized otological involvement as the concept of OMAAV.
