1 Wegener's Granulomatosis in a Patient with Fever of Unknown Origin
Harsh C. Patel, MD, Stephen D. Sisson, MD, Naudia N. Lauder, MD  The American Journal of Medicine  Volume 125, Issue 7, Pages e1-e2 (July 2012) DOI: /j.amjmed Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Renal biopsy. Periodic acid-Schiff methenamine silver stain (top) showing diffuse necrotizing pauci-immune (immunofluorescence-negative) glomerulonephritis with an early cellular crescent. Hematoxylin-eosin stain (bottom) showing acute interstitial nephritis and focal tubulitis with hemorrhage resulting in severe injury and necrosis. These findings are consistent with a vasculitis process, which in the presence of cytoplasmic antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies is suggestive of Wegener's granulomatosis.
