Diagnosis of Wegener's granulomatosis by transbronchial biopsy. 1985

C D Givens, and J H Newman, and T L McCurley

We performed transbronchial biopsies in a patient with a large cavitary lung lesion and obtained tissue diagnostic of Wegener's granulomatosis. Fiberoptic bronchoscopic examination with transbronchial biopsy may be indicated as the first diagnostic test in the evaluation of patients with suspected Wegener's granulomatosis.

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.
