ABSTRACT
We present a case of a 48-year-old male who was diagnosed and treated for Wegener’s granulomatosis on the basis of history, clinical features, computed tomography (CT) and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) positivity. The patient initially improved and later on during course of the disease he was found to be human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositive. The potential pitfalls of cANCA in a HIV-infected patient are discussed.
