Overview
There are no established risk factors for eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis. However, certain environmental agents including various allergens, infections, desensitization, vaccination, and genetics may act as triggering agents. Those triggers may be responsible for the inflammatory response with eosinophils and lymphocytes and macrophages.
Risk Factors
- Various environmental agents including various allergens, infections, desensitization, vaccination, and genetics may act as triggering agents. These triggers may be responsible for the inflammatory response with eosinophils and lymphocytes leading to vasculitis and necrosis.
Common Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis may be various allergens, infections, genetic factors, and desensitization to drugs and vaccinations.
- Genetic determinants:[1][2]
- HLA-DRB1*04 AND *07
- HLA-DRB4
- Interleukin 10 gene single nucleotide polymorphisms
- Allergic agents
- Infections
- Vaccination
- Exposure to silica[3]
- Drugs:[4][5]
- Leukotriene receptor antagonists/ Leukotriene modifying agents (eg, montelukast, zafirlukast)
- Anti-IgE antibody (eg, omalizumab)
- Cocaine
- Inhaled glucocorticoids
- Mesalazine
- Propylthiouracil
- Methimazole
- Macrolides
