Onset of ANCA-positive EGPA with bilateral pleural effusion: a case report.
Background: Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a multisystemic, immune-mediated disease that occurs in patients with asthma and eosinophilia. It is characterized by inflammation of small- and medium-caliber blood vessels.
Case report: This report presents an unusual clinical case of EGPA with positive anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies who manifested bilateral pleural effusion. The diagnosis was confirmed through laboratory assessments and bronchial biopsies. The patient was treated with methylprednisolone showing improvement in symptoms.
Conclusions: Our case appear interesting considering the limited evidence of pleural effusion in patients with EGPA documented in the literature.
期刊介绍:
Current Medical Research and Opinion is a MEDLINE-indexed, peer-reviewed, international journal for the rapid publication of original research on new and existing drugs and therapies, Phase II-IV studies, and post-marketing investigations. Equivalence, safety and efficacy/effectiveness studies are especially encouraged. Preclinical, Phase I, pharmacoeconomic, outcomes and quality of life studies may also be considered if there is clear clinical relevance
