Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis Manifested by Cholecystitis and Mononeuritis Multiplex: A Case Report
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis formerly named “Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS)” is a systemic disease with bronchial asthma, hypereosinophilia, and systemic vasculitis. We report a case of CSS with cholecystitis and mononeuritis multiplex. A 50-year-old woman with a history of sinusitis and bronchial asthma of 8 years’ duration was referred with a complaint of left-hand deformity an...

BACKGROUND Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis is a complex multisystemic syndrome with heterogeneous presentation. Most often, there is a clinical history of asthma or other atopic conditions, and current presentation generally includes signs of cutaneous or pulmonary involvement. Very few reports described myalgia or weakness as the chief complaint. Of these, only a few included mus...
متن کاملEosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (formerly Churg-Strauss syndrome): where are we now?
Antineutrophil-cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV), classified as small-sized vessel vasculitides, include: granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) (formerly Wegener’s granulomatosis disease), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) (formerly Churg–Strauss syndrome) [1]. Although they share some common features, EGPA has certai...
متن کاملEosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (formerly known as Churg-Strauss syndrome) as a differential diagnosis of hypereosinophilic syndromes
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), formerly known as Churg-Strauss syndrome, is a rare systemic disease situated between primary small vessel vasculitides associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) and hypereosinophilic syndromes (HES). Here, we present a case of EGPA in a 38-year-old male, with a previous diagnosis of asthma, who presented with fever, migr...
متن کاملChurg-Strauss Syndrome: Singulair or Silicone (or both?).
