title: [Wegener's granulomatosis. The value of correct diagnosis and treatment].
abstract: Two cases of Wegener's granulomatosis are presented. The first case due to improper diagnosis died five months following initial clinical symptoms. The second case was diagnosed basing on clinical findings. Cyclophosphamide produced a quick and full remission. Both cases illustrate the need of proper diagnosis and introduction of treatment.
