In 2006, Dr. Alexander Woywodt (Preston, United Kingdom) and Dr. Eric Matteson (Mayo Clinic, USA) investigated Dr. Wegener's past, and discovered that he was, at least at some point of his career, a follower of the Nazi regime. In addition, their data indicated that Dr. Wegener was wanted by Polish authorities and that his files were forwarded to the United Nations War Crimes Commission. Finally, Dr. Wegener worked in close proximity to the genocide machinery in Lodz. Their data raised serious concerns about Dr. Wegener's professional conduct. They suggested that the eponym be abandoned and proposed "ANCA-associated granulomatous vasculitis."<ref>{{cite journal |author=Woywodt A, Matteson EL |title=Wegener's granulomatosis--probing the untold past of the man behind the eponym |journal=Rheumatology (Oxford) |volume=45 |issue=10 |pages=1303–6 |year=2006 |pmid=16887845 |doi=10.1093/rheumatology/kel258}}</ref> The authors have since campaigned for other medical eponyms to be abandoned, too.<ref>{{cite journal|author=Woywodt A, Matteson E |title=Should eponyms be abandoned?

As of November 7, 2010, Wegener's granulomatosis has been changed to Granulomatosis with polyangiitis by the American College of Rheumatology, American Society of Nephrology, and the European League Against Rheumatism.

Overview

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis was first discovered by Peter McBride, a Scottish otolaryngologist, in 1897 when describing a case of rapid destruction of the nose and face[1]. In 1907, Heinz Karl Ernst Klinger added information regarding the anatomical pathology of the disease. However, the full presentation of the disease was later discovered in 2 separate reports in 1936 and 1939 by a German pathologist, Friedrich Wegener.

An earlier name for the disease was pathergic granulomatososis.[2] The disease is still sometimes confused with lethal midline granuloma and lymphomatoid granulomatosis, both malignant lymphomas.[3]

As of November 7, 2010, Wegener's granulomatosis has been changed to Granulomatosis with polyangiitis by the American College of Rheumatology, American Society of Nephrology, and the European League Against Rheumatism. The name has been change to characterize the pathology of the disease rather than having it remain as a historical reference, as it has become evident that Dr. Wegener was associated with the Nazi party.[4][5]

Historical Perspective

As of November 7, 2010, Wegener's granulomatosis has been changed to Granulomatosis with polyangiitis by the American College of Rheumatology, American Society of Nephrology, and the European League Against Rheumatism. The name has been change to characterize the pathology of the disease rather than having it remain as a historical reference, as it has become evident that Dr. Wegener was associated with the Nazi party.[4][6]

Discovery

  • Granulomatosis with polyangitis was first discovered by Peter McBride, a Scottish otolaryngologist, in 1897.[1]
  • In 1954 was called as Wegener's granulomatosis [7], named after a German pathologist, Friedrich Wegener who described the disease in his detailed report published in 1936.[8]
  • Due to concerns with Wegener's professional conduct, Alexander Woywodt and Eric Matteson abandoned the name and changed to "ANCA-associated granulomatous vasculitis."[9]
  • The association between [important risk factor/cause] and [disease name] was made in/during [year/event].
  • In [year], [scientist] was the first to discover the association between [risk factor] and the development of [disease name].
  • In [year], [gene] mutations were first implicated in the pathogenesis of [disease name].

Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies

Famous Cases

  • The following are a few famous cases of disease name:
    • Heinrich Hertz, famous German physicist who worked on electromagnetic waves[11]
