Wegener‘s Granulomatosis – A case report

Dr. C. Arshad Akeel, Dr. N Sadiya

Abstract :

Wegener’s granulomatosis (WG) is an uncommon autoimmune disease with multisystem involvement that manifests as vasculitis, granulomatosis and necrosis. While its standard form involves the upper and lower respiratory tract and kidneys, it may essentially involve any organ. We present a case in a young female patient admitted for evaluation of fever with polyarthralgia associated with conjunctival congestion, lung nodules and rashes over the left leg. This case highlights the importance of clinic–radiological correlation with histopathology and other laboratory ancillary tests for the diagnosis of this uncommon lethal condition.
