[Difficulties in diagnostics and complications of Wegener's granulomatosis].

The authors substantiate their opinion based on literature data as for the difficulties of Vegener granulomatoses diagnostics. These are middle and small-sized vessels where the pathologic process takes place. The pathologic process being systemic is not easy to be well timed diagnosed; furthermore the illness often becomes complicated. The authors give two examples of such complications (pulmonary-cardiac insufficiency and spontaneous pneumothorax) and consider that vivid clinical picture of these complications would help a physician in diagnostics of the disease.
