Multicentric Pulmonary Hemorrhage and Pneumonia with ANCA-associated Vasculitis
71 yo m w/ a hx of recently diagnosed ANCA-associated vasculitis (diagnosed by kidney biopsy), presents with acute respiratory failure. Bronchoscopic findings were consistent with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage associated with MSSA (Methicillin Sensitive Staph Aureus ) pneumonia/bacteremia
CXR shows multicentric consolidations likely a combination of alveolar hemorrhage and pneumonia

Bronchoscopic findings were consistent with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage associated with MSSA (Methicillin Sensitive Staph Aureus ) pneumonia/bacteremia. Note Consolidation surrounded by ground glass opacity, the latter likely reflecting a hemorrhagic component
