Abstract

Introduction:Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology, affecting small and medium-sized vessels and associating asthma,pulmonary involvement, peripheral eosinophilia and extravascular eosinophilic granulomas. We report three GEPA sightings of unusual revelations. Methods:These are three cases of GEPA from the internal medicine department B, Mohammed V military hospital in Rabat. Results:Three patients aged between 27 and 70 years. The most frequently found manifestations were pulmonary, cutaneous, neurological and digestive. All patients presented with peripheral eosinophilia. The ANCA were negative. All patients were treated with corticosteroids in one case, immunosuppressive therapy were used. Conclusion:In this article, GEPA was revealed by an acute surgical abdomen (appendicitis) in one case, a febrile rash in the second and liver damage in the third patient. Our patients responded well to corticosteroid therapy but the treatment must be adapted depending on the case.
