Overview
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiits must be differentiated from other diseases that can cause purpura, alveolar hemorrhage, fever, arthralgia, myalgia, necrotizing extra-capillary glomerulonephritis, such as Granulomatosis with polyangiitis and Microscopic polyangiitis.[1]
Differentiating Churg-Strauss syndrome from other Diseases
- Differentiation of Churg-Strauss syndrome from Wegener's granulomatosis can be difficult, though the increasing use of ANCA assays has made the distinction more routine. Wegener's is closely associated with c-ANCA, unlike Churg-Strauss which shows elevations of p-ANCA.
- Churg-Strauss syndrome was once considered a type of Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) due to their similar morphologies.
