Abstract
When alveolar hemorrhage occurs in association with glomerulonephritis, one of the leading causes is Goodpasture syndrome. We report a case of an adolescent who presented to the emergency department in respiratory distress. Subsequent evaluation was consistent with the diagnosis of Goodpasture syndrome.
