[The cest radiograph in Wegener's granuloma (author's transl)]. 1978

H Lehmann, and H Popken, and W L Gross, and M Schlaak

Wegener's granuloma belongs to the so-called collagenoses. It is characterized by focal vasculitis, necrotising granulomatous processes in the upper air passages and lung, as well as focal glomerulitis with swelling of the capsule and the formation of granulomatous glomerular lesions. In order of frequency the lungs, paranasal sinuses, pharynx, kidneys, joints, skin, eyes, ears, the heart and nerve tissue may be involved. Recently, Wolf and Fischbach (1976) reported six cases of Wegener's granuloma in this Journal, with radiological and pathological changes in the lungs. Typical changes which may be found radiographically are illustrated in the present paper based on four histologically confirmed cases of this relatively rare condition.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007166 Immunosuppressive Agents Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.

It is characterized by inflammation of the blood vessels (VASCULITIS) leading to damage in any number of organs. The common features include granulomatous inflammation of the RESPIRATORY TRACT and KIDNEYS. Most patients have measurable autoantibodies (ANTINEUTROPHIL CYTOPLASMIC ANTIBODIES) against MYELOBLASTIN.
