RESUMO

Two patients with Goodpasture's syndrome are reported. One showed an apparently spontaneous remission and has survived in good health for over five years since the onset of his illness; he was treated for part of this time with steroids and chlorambucil. The second patient failed to respond to steroids but appeared to improve rapidly from a moribund state on administration of azathioprine; he remains well, although in mild renal failure, over a year later.
