Diagnostic criteria of vasculitis associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are of limited usefulness as they involve resembling conditions and do not make possible distinguishing nosology of vasculitis. A challenging clinical case of an elderly female patient with ANCA-associated vasculitis, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage syndrome, cardiac injury and blood eosinophilia, but without bronchial asthma, is described in the article.
