[Acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis in a woman with Goodpasture syndrome].
A case of acute leukoencephalitis in a 17-year-old female with Goodpasture syndrome is described. Acute leukoencephalitis is a rare inflammatory-degenerative disease (practically not studied so far) affecting the brain white matter. The disease develops acutely as a rule after respiratory viral infection and has a fatal exitus. Multiple hemorrhages in the brain white matter with demyelinization and axons death are observed histologically.
