Autopsy findings. (A) Crescentic necrotizing glomerulonephritis. (B) Alveolar hemorrhage with neutrophil infiltration. (C, D) DVT: neutrophils were abundant in the thrombus. (E-G) NETs in the glomerulus. Blue: DNA stained by DAPI. Red: MPO. NETs were present in the crescent. (H-J) NETs in the thrombus. The detection of NETs was performed similar to the renal specimens. Original magnification: x40 (C), x200 (B), x 400 (A, D, E-J).

Autopsy revealed diffuse crescentic necrotizing glomerulonephritis without immunoglobulin deposition and massive alveolar hemorrhage with neutrophil infiltration (Figures 1A,B). The thrombus was relatively, fresh and contained abundant neutrophils (Figures 1C,D).
