Wegener's Granulomatosis Responding to Antituberculous Drugs

While this would seem improbable, EN is often triggered by TB, so

since WG and EN are related, it does make sense that TB meds could

help WG. I would not be surprised if a form of TB was at the root of

many of the related disorders. We have just now got a supersensitive

blood test to test for TB. How many of us may harbor TB that was never

picked up? Something to think about.

I developed EN while living next door to a man who had active TB and

refused to treat it. My old boyfriend, who I am still in contact with,

still blames for my EN. But blame doesn't do anyone any good,

and I have no way of knowing if that is what stated my life of EN.

Love,

idio. EN
