%X A 14 year-old boy presented with frank haematuria following two weeks of fever, coryzal symptoms and epistaxis. Renal biopsy and serology confirmed WegnerĄ¯s granulomatosis. This case illustrates the need for vigilance for signs of thrombosis in children with WegnerĄ¯s granulomatosis, particularly in those with additional risk factors such as heavy proteinuria, reduced mobility and an indwelling central venous catheter.
