Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, abbreviated EGPA,[1] is a type of vasculitis.
It was previously known as Churg-Strauss syndrome.[2]
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]

Features:
- Small vessel vasculitis.
- Abundant eosinophils.
- Granulomas.
