Abstract
An 83-year-old woman with histologically confirmed Hunner's cystitis p resented with persistent fever, progressive dyspnea, and pulmonary pat chy infiltrates. A transbronchial biopsy specimen revealed bronchiolit is obliterans organizing pneumonia. She progressively had development of renal insufficiency, due to systemic lupus erythematosus, proved by renal biopsy specimen. She recovered under corticosteroid treatment, but irreversible renal failure made long-term hemodialysis necessary.
