Diagnosis in short

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis. H&E stain.

Synonyms Churg-Strauss syndrome, Churg-Strauss disease

LM small vessel vasculitis with abundant eosinophils and granulomas

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, abbreviated EGPA,[1] is a type of vasculitis.

It was previously known as Churg-Strauss syndrome.[2]

It should not be confused with granulomatosis with polyangiitis, previously known as Wegener's granulomatosis.
