A Case of Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis

Abstract

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (eGPA) is a small- and medium-sized-vessel vasculitis with multi-organ manifestations. Given the rarity of eGPA, patients are often misdiagnosed for decades and may initially present with life-threatening manifestations of late-stage disease. Therefore, it is important to raise awareness of this condition and its associated signs and symptoms. This case report serves to describe a classic presentation of a patient with eGPA, as well as to delineate the diagnostic workup, acute management, and early outpatient follow-up required.
