Lung Foundation

Whilst The Australian Lung Foundation has not yet produced any educational resources on Wegener’s granulomatosis, there is an Australian-based organisation which provides information and support:

Wegener's Granulomatosis Support Group of Australia - www.wegenersaustralia.com/

Further information on Wegener’s Granulomatosis can be found at the following links:

A basic working definition of Wegener's Granulomatosis can be found at the US government’s National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases website: http://www3.niaid.nih.gov/healthscience/healthtopics/wegener/default.htm

A more detailed description can be found by visiting the website of the Vasculitis Foundation (formerly Wegener's Granulomatosis Association): http://www.vasculitisfoundation.org/

An online discussion group for patients and carers living with Wegener’s Granulomatosis can be found at http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/wgdiscussion/

Please note that these links are not all Australian-based.
