Early diagnosis of microscopic polyangiitis is quite challenging for doctors of various specialties
due to involvement of multiple organs and variety of clinical symptoms. Moreover, absence of classification

diagnosis of microscopic polyangiitis which was treated as flu, bronchitis and pneumonia is described in the
article.
