title: [Wegener's disease mimicking acute infectious pleurisy].
abstract: A 75-year-old woman followed for Wegener's disease was hospitalized for pleural effusion. The clinical presentation and cytology of the pleural fluid suggested the diagnosis of purulent pleurisy in this immunodepressed patient. The final diagnosis was a pleural involvement of Wegener's disease, a rarely described localization, as proven by the typical pathology findings.
