title: [Microscopic polyangiitis. A case report].
abstract: We describe a 36 year old male patient affected by microscopic polyangiitis; he was treated with corticosteroic and cyclophosphamide pulses obtaining clinical improvement and remission and acute flogistic index normalization. The peculiar aspect is a stable remission during a four years follow up; the only relapse was controlled with low dose of corticosteroids.
