Abstract
A case of Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) with involvement of the upper and lower respiratory tract and kidneys is presented. Despite specific symptoms the diagnosis was changed several times. Final diagnosis was made with immunofluorescence test for antineutrophil-cytoplasm antibodies (IF-ANCA). In Poland, this is the first report emphasizing the role of ANCA in diagnosis of WG. The significance of this test in diagnosing of WG is presented.
