Laryngeal and tracheobronchial involvement in Wegener's granulomatosis.
INTRODUCTION Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a form of systemic vasculitis that involves primarily the upper and lower airways and the kidneys. The most frequent airway manifestations include subglottic stenosis and inflammation, and tracheal and bronchial stenoses. The endoscopic visualization of the airways is the best tool for assessing, diagnosing and managing those changes. OBJECTIVES T...
متن کاملSubglottic stenosis in Wegener's granulomatosis: development during cyclophosphamide treatment with response to carbon dioxide laser therapy.
A patient with Wegener's granulomatosis rapidly developed a circumferential subglottic stenosis while on a cyclophosphamide regimen that had caused resolution of systemic symptoms and pulmonary infiltrates. The stenosis developed in the area of previously noted tracheal ulceration and responded satisfactorily to carbon dioxide laser therapy.
متن کاملNebulized tobramycin in patients with chronic respiratory infections during clinical evolution of Wegener's granulomatosis.
Aminoglycosides are effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa but with intravenous administration there are only very low concentrations achieved in sputum; therefore in order to obtain therapeutic levels in patients with endobronchial infections should be administered high doses with increased likelihood to produce both nephrotoxic and ototoxic effects. Direct aerosol delivery of aminoglycoside...
متن کاملChronic bronchial suppuration and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) positive systemic vasculitis.
Two patients with long-standing chronic bronchial suppuration developed antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) positive Wegener's granulomatosis and microscopic polyarteritis respectively. There is published evidence of an association between previous suppurative respiratory disease and Wegener's granulomatosis. We believe that our cases provide further evidence that chronic lung infection ...
