  • Title: Wegener's granulomatosis: case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Ataman M, Sarioglu T, Shahidi H, Gürsel B.
    Journal: Rhinology; 1994 Jun; 32(2):92-7. PubMed ID: 7939151.
    Abstract:
    The clinical manifestations of Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) may be varied and easily overlooked. Awareness of distinguishing signs and symptoms allows early recognition and appropriate management. The body of literature dealing with the various facets of this disorder has grown in the past few years. Development of new diagnostic markers and successful therapies has rekindled interest in this disease. To assure early diagnosis and optimal prognosis the physician must maintain a high index of suspicion for WG. Although introduction of immunosuppressive therapy has dramatically improved the course of this disorder, treatment-related morbidity is often profound.
