Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a systemic vasculitis characterized by the presence of asthma associated with eosinophilia, eosinophilic infiltration of different organs, and vasculitis of small and medium-sized vessels. Although classified as anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis, it occurs in less than half of the patients. The disease is infrequent, typically appearing in patients with asthma and affecting multiple organs such as lung, skin and peripheral nervous system. Treatment has been based on the use of glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants. In recent years, progress has been made in the knowledge of the pathophysiology, in treatment with the inclusion of biologic agents, the classification criteria have been revised and new therapeutic recommendations have been published.

D001249 Asthma A form of bronchial disorder with three distinct components: airway hyper-responsiveness (RESPIRATORY HYPERSENSITIVITY), airway INFLAMMATION, and intermittent AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION. It is characterized by spasmodic contraction of airway smooth muscle, WHEEZING, and dyspnea (DYSPNEA, PAROXYSMAL). Asthma, Bronchial,Bronchial Asthma,Asthmas
D014890 Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis A multisystemic disease of a complex genetic background. It is characterized by inflammation of the blood vessels (VASCULITIS) leading to damage in any number of organs. The common features include granulomatous inflammation of the RESPIRATORY TRACT and KIDNEYS. Most patients have measurable autoantibodies (ANTINEUTROPHIL CYTOPLASMIC ANTIBODIES) against MYELOBLASTIN.

D015267 Churg-Strauss Syndrome Widespread necrotizing angiitis with granulomas. Pulmonary involvement is frequent. Asthma or other respiratory infection may precede evidence of vasculitis.

D056648 Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-Associated Vasculitis Group of systemic vasculitis with a strong association with ANCA. The disorders are characterized by necrotizing inflammation of small and medium size vessels, with little or no immune-complex deposits in vessel walls.

D019268 Antibodies, Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Autoantibodies directed against cytoplasmic constituents of POLYMORPHONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES and/or MONOCYTES. They are used as specific markers for GRANULOMATOSIS WITH POLYANGIITIS and other diseases, though their pathophysiological role is not clear. ANCA are routinely detected by indirect immunofluorescence with three different patterns: c-ANCA (cytoplasmic), p-ANCA (perinuclear), and atypical ANCA.
