OBJECTIVE:To report a case of renal small-vessel vasculitis related to doxycycline administration.

CASE SUMMARY:A 42-year-old healthy woman was given doxycycline 100 mg/d because of a fever and a cough. Two days later, she developed a fever and rash. In addition, she deveoped acute renal failure with a creatinine concentration of 2.2 mg/dL and a glomerular filtration rate of 25 mL/min, as well as an increase in liver enzymes. No evidence was found for infectious or autoimmune etiologies. Renal biopsy showed renal small-vessel vasculitis. The patient was treated with prednisone 60 mg/d for one month. All of her symptoms resolved after three months.

CONCLUSIONS:This is a unique case of isolated renal vasculitis associated with doxycycline.
