Wegener’s Granulomatosis. Our Experience with a 16-year Follow-up of a Patient
Wegenerova granulomatóza
Autor referuje o pacientovi s Wegenerovou granulomatózou, ktorý vďaka správne určenej diagnóze a adekvátnej liečbe prežíva už 16 rokov. Zdôrazňuje nezastupiteľné miesto otolaryngológa v skorom stanovení príčiny niekedy veľmi rozmanitého chorobného stavu. V prehľadu literatúry uvádza problematiku veľkej skupiny vaskulitíd a miesto Wegenerovej granulomatózy v nej. Upozor- ňuje na nezrovnalosti v názvosloví pri popisovaní rôznych klinických prejavov vaskulitíd.
