[Long-term observations of Wegener's disease. Results of treating recurrences]

Four patients with Wegener's disease (three women; one man) were followed from three to eleven years. Patient 1 has been free of recurrence for 11 years, six of them without treatment. Patient 2 had a probable recurrence after seven years, six of them without treatment. Patient 3 had a recurrence after 11 years (ten without treatment) requiring renewed treatment, with good response. Patient 4 (male) has required continued treatment with cyclophosphamide and prednisone for the last three years.
