In this case, the immunofluorescence can show three patterns: linear, granular and negative (pauci-immune).[1] The linear and granular patterns are examples of positive immunofluorescence and are associated with Goodpasture syndrome and post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis accordingly.[1] A negative pattern or pauci-immune pattern can be associated with systemic vasculitis such as microscopic polyangiitis, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) or granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA).[1][2] In many cases however, it is limited to the kidney and it is thus called idiopathic. Since it can be associated with the three systemic vasculitides mentioned above, a pauci-immune pattern finding can be associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA).[3] Therefore, an ANCA test should follow a negative immunofluorescence result in order to distinguish between the above-mentioned systemic vasculitis.[1] Peak incidences in 50- to 60-year-olds symptoms include intermittent fever / weight loss / shortness of breath / joint pain.
