prognosis and treatment of Wegener's Granulomatosis

1     *Wegener's granulomatosis/pc,et,th [Prevention & Control,    results= 46   
Etiology, Therapy]

Reference Librarian comments

I like to separate these "treatment and prognosis" questions, though of course they're related. Like this below, where my therapy articles are in Set #1, and my "prognosis" articles are in set 6. I could get less by limiting to English language and Humans, etc. -- but here (below) I didn't.

Be sure to check all possible "therapy" subheadings.

Thanks for participating in the exercise.
