We report a case of 43-year-old woman who developed two complications associated with the use of propylthiouracil: vasculitis and agranulocytosis. Vasculitis associated with antithyroid therapy is a rare well-documented clinical entity with a pathogenic mechanism not clear yet. There a few published reports of an association between treatment with propylthiouracil, and the occurrence of ANCA positivity and ANCA-associated vasculitis. This is probably one more.
