Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA)

Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare autoimmune condition that causes inflammation of blood vessels and affects various organs, primarily the lungs, skin, and nerves. It often involves the accumulation of a type of white blood cell called eosinophils, which can lead to damage in the body's tissues. Symptoms may include asthma, skin rashes, sinus problems, and fatigue. The exact cause is unclear, but EGPA can be serious and requires prompt medical attention, often involving immunosuppressive treatments to manage inflammation and prevent complications. Early diagnosis is key to improving outcomes.
