“…It is characterized by necrotizing granubomatous vasculitis involving both the upper and lower respiratory tract, together with necrotizing glomerulonephritis (1,2). Reported bone changes in the sinuses have been limited to occasional destruction involving particularly the medial walls of the maxillary antra (5,8).

“…Although a confirmed diagnosis requires histologic proof, a strong suggestion can be based on clinical and radiologic features (3,6,13). The radiologic findings are striking but not diagnostic of WG (6,8,10,11,12,15). They resemble those of tuberculosis, and in areas with a high prevalence of tuberculosis many patients with WG are not identified and treated at an early stage (7,13).…”

Among 61 cases of WG seen at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and its affiliated hospitals from 1965 to 1986 (Tables 1,2), only 17% of those not receiving corticosteroids required hospitalization for infection, but they were also in much better overall health than the corticosteroid-treated group, of whom 53% were hospitalized for infections.…”
