韦格内(Wegener)肉芽肿病是以全身性血管炎为特征的一组疾病中的一部份。虽然某些有重叠的表现,但典型的病例可以通过临床和病理特征的结合与结节性多动脉炎、复发性多软骨炎和 Churg Strauss综合征相区别。因为在早期肺及上呼吸道儿乎常常累及,故患者常有鼻窦炎、中耳炎或肺部感染的症状。 Wegener’s granulomatosis is part of a group of diseases characterized by systemic vasculitis. While some have overlapping manifestations, typical cases can be distinguished from polyarteritis nodosum, recurrent polychondritis and Churg Strauss syndrome by combining clinical and pathological features. Because of the frequent involvement of the lungs and the upper respiratory tract in the early stages, patients often have symptoms of sinusitis, otitis media, or lung infection.
