Case Reports[Wegener's granulomatosis in a woman with asymptomatic primary biliary cirrhosis].
A 60-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital in June 1985, complaining of fever, cough and right lower chest pain, with a five-year history of asymptomatic primary biliary cirrhosis. Chest X-ray on admission showed an infiltrative shadow in the right lower lung field. She was first treated with various antibiotics unsuccessfully. ⋯ She was treated with prednisolone and prednisolone-azathioprine therapy unsuccessfully, but successfully with prednisolone-cyclophosphamide therapy. This case was a rare case of Wegener's granulomatosis with transition from fulminant type to granulomatous type. No similar case of Wegener's granulomatosis with asymptomatic primary biliary cirrhosis has been reported in the literature.
