Overview
Goodpasture’s disease is a rare condition characterised by rapid destruction of the kidneys and hemorrhaging of the lungs.
Although many diseases can present with these symptoms, the name Goodpasture’s syndrome is usually reserved for the autoimmune disease produced when the patient’s immune system attacks cells presenting the Goodpasture antigen, which are found in the kidney and lung, causing damage to these organs.
Historical Perspective
Goodpasture syndrome was first discovered by Dr.Ernest William Goodpasture, an American pathologist and physician, who studied the influenza pandemic in 1919, described a fatal disease that was associated with glomerulonephritis and pulmonary hemorrhage.
