Goodpasture's syndrome is a disease that is characterized by hemoptysis, anemia, and glomerulonephritis with renal failure. Goodpasture reported a case of a young man who expired as a result of a pulmonary hemorrhage and glomerulonephritis at the recovery phase after an influenza infection in 1919. In 1958, Stanton et al. described a combined case of these two diseases as Goodpasture's syndrome. Since then, antiglomerular basement membrane antibody(anti-GBM Ab) has been confirmed to play an important role in the mechanism of this syndrome, and it was reported that this syndrome was an autoimmune disease. The triad of alveolar hemorrhage, glomerulonephritis and circulating anti-GBM Ab forms the basis of a diagnosis of Goodpasture's syndrome. When patients are affected by disease, the relief of symptoms can be accomplished by eliminating the anti-GBM Ab from the circulatory system through hemodialysis, plasmapheresis and immunoabsorption. However, the patients usually die from a massive pulmonary hemorrhage when the diagnosis or treatment is delayed. The incidence of Goodpasture's syndrome is common in the western world, but it is extremely rare in Korea with only five cases being reported. In three of these cases, pulmonary hemorrhage and renal failure was the initial manifestation. Therefore, hemodialysis or plasmapheresis were absolutely essential treatments. We report a case of Goodpasture's syndrome in Korea with a normal renal function.

Goodpasture 증후군은 원인 불명의 병인을 가진 드문 질환으로 질병의 경과가 급속히 진행하므로 조기에 진단을 하여 조기에 치료방법을 결정하는 것이 질병의 예후와 큰 연관성을 가진다. 크론씨 병에서 혈관염에 의한 폐 합병증을 보이는 경우는 드물어 국내에는 이와 관련된 보고가 없었으며, 17년 전 항문 누공과 농양으로 크론씨 병으로 진단 받고 10년 전 전대장 절제술을 시행한 이후 추적 관찰하는 도중 발견된 Goodpasture 증후군 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
