Abstract

We present a case of a 60-year-old male with a fever of unknown origin (FUO) who was ultimately diagnosed with perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (p-ANCA)-associated microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and aortitis. This case underscores the diagnostic intricacies and therapeutic challenges of managing such rare and severe multisystem involvement. It also highlights the critical importance of clinician awareness for prompt recognition and effective management of similar presentations.
