==Overview==
==Overview==
[[Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis]] is a medium and small vessel [[vasculitis]], leading to [[necrosis]] and [[vasculitis]]. The pathogenesis of [[eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis]] is not fully understood. It may occur as a  result of a complex interaction involving [[Genetics|genetic]] and environmental factors that lead to an [[Inflammation|inflammatory response]] <nowiki/>involving [[Eosinophil granulocyte|eosinophils]], [[B cell|lymphocytes]] and [[Macrophage|giant cells]]. [[Autoimmunity]] has an evident role in the presence of [[Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody|ANCA]], [[hypergammaglobulinemia]], elevated levels of [[immunoglobulin E]], and [[Rheumatoid factor|rheumatic factor]] in the pathogenesis. [[HLA-DRB4]] is correlated with increased risk of development of vascular manifestations of the [[Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis|churg-strauss syndrome]]. On microscopic  pathology, [[Eosinophil granulocyte|eosinophlic]] infiltration, [[Granulomas|necrotizing granulomas]] [[vasculitis]] and [[necrosis]] of small and medium-sized [[Artery|arteries]] can be seen.

*[[Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis]]  is probably caused by the result of a complex interaction involving  [[Genetics|genetic]] and environmental factors that lead to an [[Inflammation|inflammatory response]] involving [[Eosinophil granulocyte|eosinophils]], [[T cell|T lymphocytes]], and [[B cell|B lymphocytes]].
*The disease most commonly involves  medium and small vessel resulting in [[necrosis]] and [[vasculitis]].  It involves mainly the blood vessels of the [[lungs]], [[Gastrointestinal tract|gastrointestinal system]], and [[Peripheral nervous system|peripheral nerves]], but also affects the [[heart]], [[skin]], and [[Kidney|kidneys]].
*There is insufficient data to support the role of [[Cell-mediated immunity|cell-mediated]] and [[immune complex]] mediations, although [[autoimmunity]] has an evident role with the presence of [[Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody|ANCA]], [[hypergammaglobulinemia]], elevated levels of [[immunoglobulin E]], and [[Rheumatoid factor|rheumatic factor]].<ref name="pmid18586318">{{cite journal |vauthors=Tsurikisawa N, Saito H, Tsuburai T, Oshikata C, Ono E, Mitomi H, Akiyama K |title=Differences in regulatory T cells between Churg-Strauss syndrome and chronic eosinophilic pneumonia with asthma |journal=J.

Overview

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis is a medium and small vessel vasculitis, leading to necrosis and vasculitis. The pathogenesis of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis is not fully understood. It may occur as a  result of a complex interaction involving genetic and environmental factors that lead to an inflammatory response involving eosinophils, lymphocytes and giant cells. Autoimmunity has an evident role in the presence of ANCA, hypergammaglobulinemia, elevated levels of immunoglobulin E, and rheumatic factor in the pathogenesis. HLA-DRB4 is correlated with increased risk of development of vascular manifestations of the churg-strauss syndrome. On microscopic pathology, eosinophlic infiltration, necrotizing granulomas vasculitis and necrosis of small and medium-sized arteries can be seen.
