Abstract:
We present a case of Wegener's granulomatosis in a teenage boy with systemic onset juvenile chronic arthritis. We discuss the implication of these two uncommon conditions coexisting in one patient. The recent characterization of the antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) as a marker of small vessel vasculitis has helped in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary renal syndromes.
