Abstract

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), previously called Wegener’s granulomatosis, is a systemic granulomatous necrotizing vasculitis, pauci-immune, which predominantly affects the upper respiratory tract, lungs and kidneys. Patients affected by this disease may have general and specific symptoms of upper or pulmonary, kidney, cutaneous or another organ involvement. The treatment is mainly carried out with immunosuppressive drugs and should be instituted as early as possible. This report describes the clinical and laboratory characteristics and the evolution of patients with GPA in outpatient follow-up.
