[Splenic infarcts in Goodpasture's syndrome: its significance for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment (author's transl)].
Necrotising splenic arteritis with numerous extensive anaemic splenic infarcts was found in four cases of Goodpasture's syndrome with the necrotising variant of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. The disease was rapidly fatal. Early scanning of splenic infarcts for diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic purposes of the fulminating form of Goodpasture's syndrome is recommended.
