Abstract
abstract:
Friedrich Wegener, who described the granulomatous vasculitic disease that bears his name, has been attacked in a number of publications for his activities during World War II. This has resulted in efforts to expunge the eponymous diagnosis and to rescind previous honors by a medical society. Arguments are herein presented in defense of the late German pathologist and to examine the validity of his accusers' case.
