Indeed, there are documented cases both of coexisting TB and GPA, and cases wrongly diagnosed as GPA when in fact TB was the underlying diagnosis. This lesson presents a case of GPA where TB was also considered as a differential and highlights the diagnostic and management difficulties when this is the case.}, issn = {1470-2118}, URL = {https://www.rcpjournals.org/content/13/4/411}, eprint = {https://www.rcpjournals.org/content/13/4/411.full.pdf}, journal = {Clinical Medicine} }
