Wegener's granulomatosis is a rare disease of unknown etiology. Until recently it was considered uniformly fatal. Family physicians should be aware of the variable presentations of this disease and keep the diagnosis in mind when faced with a puzzling, chronic, progressive multisystem process. New laboratory markers can lead to earlier diagnosis, and aggressive treatment can improve the prognosis.
韦格纳肉芽肿病是一种病因不明的罕见疾病。直到最近，它仍被认为必然会致命。家庭医生应了解这种疾病的多种表现形式，在面对令人困惑的慢性进行性多系统疾病时应考虑到该病的诊断。新的实验室指标可实现早期诊断，积极治疗可改善预后。
