Abstract
We present a case of Wegener's granulomatosis in a teenage boy with systemic onset juvenile chronic arthritis. We discuss the implication of these two uncommon conditions coexisting in one patient. The recent characterization of the antineu trophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) as a marker of small vessel vasculitis has helped in the differential diagnosis of pul monary renal syndromes.Keywords
