To manage Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) effectively, the clinician must establish the diagnosis without delay, recognize variability in clinical course and severity, critically monitor disease activity, and anticipate disease-related and treatment-related morbidity. These issues represent the focus of approach to the diagnosis and treatment of WG.
