"Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (previously known as Wegener granulomatosis), is a multi-system systemic necrotising non-caseating granulomatous vasculitis affecting small to medium-sized arteries, capillaries and veins."

Line 9:65 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong>Wegener granulomatosis</strong>'

"Necrotising granulomatous inflammation begins as large areas of inflammation and fibrosis comprising giant cells and microabscesses which enlarge into granulomatous nodules or masses that develop extensive necrosis and can cavitate."

Line 14:4 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong>Necrotising granulomatous inflammation</strong>'

"Vasculitis affects small to medium-sized arteries and veins in a segmental pattern."

Line 15:4 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong>Vasculitis</strong>'

"Capillaritis and alveolar haemorrhage often coexists with granulomatous inflammation and vasculitis."

Line 16:4 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong>Capillaritis and alveolar haemorrhage </strong>'

warning

"Biopsy is diagnostically necessary in ANCA-negative disease; surgical lung biopsy is optimal but transbronchial or needle biopsy can yield sufficient material."

Semicolons
suggestion

"Thoracic manifestations of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), which is a type of pulmonary angiitis and granulomatosis, are common; with lung involvement seen in about 95% of cases."

Line 1:163 · Use semicolons judiciously.

suggestion

"Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (previously known as Wegener granulomatosis), is a multi-system systemic necrotising non-caseating granulomatous vasculitis affecting small to medium-sized arteries, capillaries and veins."

Line 9:217 · Use the Oxford comma in 'arteries, capillaries and veins'.

"peripheral wedge-like consolidation: in some cases, focal and often peripheral regions of alveolar consolidation are seen, which may also cavitate 15"

Line 37:53 · Use the Oxford comma in 'cases, focal and often'.
