description Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is an exceptionally rare systemic necrotizing vasculitis. The disease is clinically characterized by asthma with concomitant blood and tissue eosinophilia, often progressing to eosinophilic vasculitis. From the onset of asthma, there is usually a three to nine year delay of EGPA diagnosis. We report a case of this highly uncommon disease identified in an early stage.
