  • Title: [Wegener's granulomatosis with anti-MPO c-ANCA revealed by uveitis].
    Author: Mbéthé GL, Diéval C, Lafitte A, Roger-Schmeltz J, Longy-Boursier M, Mercié P.
    Journal: Rev Med Interne; 2010 Oct; 31(10):e11-3. PubMed ID: 20605280.
    Abstract:
    Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a rare systemic necrotizing granulomatous vasculitis affecting small- to medium-sized vessels, associated with antineutrophil cytoplasm antibodies (ANCA), mainly anti-proteinase 3. Rarely, ANCA may be directed against myeloperoxidase. We report a 58-year-old woman who developed an uveitis as the presenting manifestation of Wegener's granulomatosis who highlight the usefulness of internist and ophthalmologist collaboration.
