註釋

Wegener's Granulomatosis is an autoimmune disease in which the immune defenses of the body, that usually protect against a pathogenic attack, turn rogue and induce a severe inflammation of the small blood vessels. It can be a devastating and lethal disease depending on which of the body's tissues and organs it affects. This book draws upon the personal experience of the author, who is a scientist, in fighting and eventually overcoming this disease. The book describes the pathophysiology, the potential cause, and the treatment of this disease in simple to understand laymen's terms. The book is written for sufferers of Wegener's so that they might derive some comfort and inspiration in coping with and hopefully overcoming this dreadful and sometimes frightening disease.
