Granulomatose de Wegener: relatos de casos

Abstract

Wegener granulomatosis (WG) is characterized by a classic triad of granulomatous inflammation of the respiratory tract, necrotizing vasculitis and nephritis. The absence of renal disease defines a subset of "limited WG". Approximately 50% of WG patients develop ophthalmic disease. The histopatological study and +c-ANCA were essential to make a definite diagnosis in these cases.
