Prognosis
25% to 40% of patients suffer from flare-ups, but a majority respond well to treatment. Anatomical problems (sinusitis, tracheal stenosis) may require surgery in a small proportion. Relapses can be long and troublesome.
Long-term complications are very common (86%): mainly chronic renal failure, hearing loss and deafness.
