Wegener's granulomatosis is a rare autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of blood vessels, primarily in the lungs, kidneys, and upper airways. Symptoms of Wegener's granulomatosis may include shortness of breath and cough due to lung involvement, tinnitus and/or hearing loss due to ear involvement, conjunctivitis due to eye involvement, and muscle aches due to joint inflammation. Abdominal pain and vomiting are not commonly associated with Wegener's granulomatosis.
