Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, abbreviated EGPA,[1] is a type of vasculitis.
It was previously known as Churg-Strauss syndrome.[2]
It should not be confused with granulomatosis with polyangiitis, previously known as Wegener's granulomatosis.
General
Defining features - memory device GAFE:
- Granulomata.
- Asthma.
- Fever.
- Eosinophilia.
Other clinical features - may be present:[3]
- ANCA.
- Weight loss.
- Myalgias.
- Arthralgias
- Glomerulonephritis.
- Hematuria.
Notes:
- Similar to Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's granulomatosis) - classically c-ANCA +ve, and microscopic polyangiitis.[4]
- TH2 disease - like asthma.[5]
Microscopic
Features:
- Small vessel vasculitis.
- Abundant eosinophils.
- Granulomas.
DDx:
- Eosinophilic vasculitis associated with a connective tissue disease.[6]
