      granulomatosis; report of a case].
PG  - 591-4
AB  - A 54-year-old man, who was suspected to suffer from multi-drug resistant lung 
      abcess, was admitted to our hospital. Chest computed tomography (CT) scan showed 
      large cavitary mass in right S6 and nodules in left S1+2 and S10. No abnormal 
      findings were detected without raised immunoglobulin E (IgE) and C-reactive 
      protein (CRP). Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) was repeatedly 
      negative. We couldn't make a diagnosis by percutaneous biopsy. Finally we 
      performed open lung biopsy of left lung, and Wegener's granulomatosis was 
      diagnosed at last He improved immediately after treatment with prednisolone, 
      cyclophosphamide and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim. ANCA-negative Wegener's 
      granulomatosis should be considered when we diagnose multiple pulmonary nodules.
