Successful use of Rituximab in a patient with recalcitrant multisystemic eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis.

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare eosinophil-rich disorder characterised by necrotising granulomatous inflammation affecting small to medium sized vessels. Extrapulmonary manifestations can be life-threatening when heart, central nervous system (CNS), gastrointestinal tract or kidneys are affected. We describe a case of a 56-year-old woman with a long-standing history of asthma, who presented with an acute sudden painless loss of vision after she had been recently diagnosed with EGPA and induced with pulse steroids and cyclophosphamide.
