ABSTRACT
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a systemic necrotizing vasculitis, which affects small and medium sized blood vessels and is often associated with cytoplasmic ANCA. GPA is a rare disease, especially in Vietnam. The main clinical characteristics involve the upper and/or lower respiratory tract and kidneys. Ear, nose and throat manifestations with recurrent sinusitis and crusting rhinorrhea are usually severe. The combination of immunosuppressant drugs and corticosteroids has converted this typically fatal illness into one in which 80% of patients achieve remission. However, despite considerable therapeutic progress over the last decades, relapses remain frequent (50% at 5 years), and maintenance treatment is now the main therapeutic challenge.
