Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangitis Presenting as Cardiac Tamponade.
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangitis (EGPA; earlier called Churg-Strauss syndrome) is a small-vessel necrotising vasculitis typically characterised by asthma, lung infiltrates, extra-vascular necrotising granulomas and hyper-eosinophilia. Cardiac disease is a major contributor to disease-related deaths in EGPA. We describe the case of a 39-year-old woman with late onset asthma, allergic...
متن کاملChronic skin lichenification as unusual presentation of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangitis: case report and literature review.
