Overview
A complete medical history and a comprehensive renal, pulmonary, and ENT examination must be preformed to help identify and properly diagnose Granulomatosis with polyangiitis from other diseases.
Physical Examination
A complete medical history and a comprehensive renal, pulmonary, and ENT examination must be preformed to help identify and properly diagnose Granulomatosis with polyangiitis form other diseases. A thorough physical examination can provide insight into possible causes and associated underlying conditions. The following findings may be present during a physical examination of Granulomatosis with polyangiitis:
- Atelectasis
- Pleural effusion
- Dyspnea
- Hemoptysis
- Mononeuritis multiplex
- Cranial nerve paralysis
Physical Examination
- Physical examination of patients with [disease name] is usually remarkable for:[finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
- The presence of [finding(s)] on physical examination is diagnostic of [disease name].
- The presence of [finding(s)] on physical examination is highly suggestive of [disease name]

- Otitis Media
- Hearing acuity may be reduced
- Weber test may be abnormal (Note: A positive Weber test is considered a normal finding / A negative Weber test is considered an abnormal finding. To avoid confusion, you may write "abnormal Weber test".)
- Rinne test may be positive (Note: A positive Rinne test is considered a normal finding / A negative Rinne test is considered an abnormal finding. To avoid confusion, you may write "abnormal Rinne test".)
- Gingival hyperplasia or necrotizing gingivitis can be seen
Neck
- Neck examination of patients with [disease name] is usually normal
Lungs
- Asymmetric chest expansion / Decreased chest expansion

- Expiratory/inspiratory wheezing with normal / delayed expiratory phase
- Wheezing may be present
- Egophony present/absent
