I saw this study on ClinicalTrials.gov. It isn't recruiting yet, but I thought the purpose was intriguing since we often talk about the difficulty of dx'ing Wegs when it's only presenting with non-specific symptoms like joint pain, fever, etc....

You can click on the link in the article to see all the US and international centers that are participating. There are a LOT so most of us should be able to join in. (None for Aussies, though. :sad: )

My hospital is in it. Maybe when they start recruiting I will be able to get in.

Jolanta, there are 3 locations in Canada that are listed. St Joseph's Healthcare in Ontario, Univ of Calgary, and Univ of Toronto.
