Abstract: Wegener granulomatosis is a multisystemic disease associated with high mortality rate and characterized by necrotizing granulomatous vasculitis predominantly in the respiratory tract and kidneys. Presence of kidney failure at the time of diagnosis describes a poor prognostic marker. We presented a Wegener granulomatosis case complicated with brain abscess caused by Nocardia.

In the realm of granulomatous diseases, the convergence of pathophysiology, epidemiology, and therapeutic strategies presents a labyrinth of complexity with far-reaching clinical implications. This review embarks on a scholarly expedition through the intricate landscape of granulomatous inflammation, dissecting the multifaceted presentations ranging from infectious etiologies to enigmatic autoimmune disorders. With a discerning eye on recent advancements and literature, we unravel the nuanced interactions between host defenses and granuloma formation, alongside the pivotal role of cytokines and mononuclear cells in orchestrating these responses. Beyond a mere academic exercise, our exploration delves into the clinical juxtaposition of common and esoteric causes, offering a panoramic view on diagnostic methodologies that straddle the traditional and the innovative. The management of granulomatous diseases, often a tightrope walk balancing efficacy and toxicity, is critically examined, shedding light on conventional and emerging therapies that promise to reshape the therapeutic landscape. By weaving together threads of current research, this review aspires to enhance the understanding of granulomatous diseases and catalyze future inquiries into their mysteries. In doing so, it stands as a beacon for clinicians.
