Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated vasculitides are a group of rare diseases that cause inflammation of small to medium vessels. They comprise granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). As the signs and symptoms are varied, the diagnosis of vasculitis is complex and challenging; however, there are type-specific clinical presentations that can be factored into the existing classification criteria.

A 78-years-old man was treated for asthma and pansinusitis for >5 years, and mepolizumab was initiated two years previously. Two months after the cessation of mepolizumab treatment, the asthma symptoms worsened and acute progressive muscle weakness and sensory disturbance developed. On day 8 after the onset of weakness and hypoesthesia, the patient presented with complete flaccid tetraplegia and diffuse hypoesthesia of all extremities, without paresthesia or pain, and was admitted to our hospital.

Background: Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is an extremely rare type of vasculitis characterized by inflammation within small blood vessels or tissues that may cause damage to the lungs, heart, kidneys, and other organs. Here, we present a rare case of EGPA with cardiac involvement that presented with acute heart failure.
Clinical Findings: A 44-year-old woman with a history of bronchial asthma and sinusitis presented with fever, shortness of breath, fatigue, unintentional weight loss, and polyarthritis.

Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is a rare, autoimmune, small-vessel vasculitis usually described with the presence of perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (p-ANCA). It encompasses a broad spectrum of clinical features, including fatigue, weight loss, fever, arthralgia, skin lesions, and involvement of the lungs or kidneys. Ocular manifestations, however, are extremely rare.

Introduction: Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is characterized by eosinophilic granulomatous vasculitis. Typical symptoms include late-onset bronchial asthma and blood and tissue eosinophilia. In addition to these characteristic symptoms, EGPA can affect important organs such as the skin, kidneys, heart, sinuses, gastrointestinal tract, and nervous system.
