Eosinophilic Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis (Churg Strauss Syndrome): Case Report

Abstract

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a systemic necrotizing vasculitis characterized by tissue and blood eosinophilia. Several drugs including leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs) are suspected to trigger EGPAdevelopment. Here, we present a case of EGPAunrelated to LTRAs.

Polianjitisle Seyreden Eozinofilik Granülomatozis (Churg Strauss Sendromu): Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Polianjitisle birlikte seyreden eozinofilik granülomatozis (Churg Strauss sendromu), nadir, sıklıkla solunum sistemini tutan ve özellikle küçük ve orta çaplı damarları etkileyen, astım ve doku eozinofilisi ile karakterize, sistemik nekrotizan bir vaskülittir. Lökotrien antagonistlerini de içeren pek çok ilacın bu hastalığın gelişiminde rolü olduğundan şüphelenilmektedir. Biz de klinik ve radyolojik bulgularla tanı alan ve lökotrien reseptör antagonistleri ile ilişkili olmadığını düşündüğümüz bir olguyu sunmak istedik.
