Overview
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiits must be differentiated from other diseases that can cause purpura, alveolar hemorrhage, fever, arthralgia, myalgia, necrotizing extra-capillary glomerulonephritis, such as Granulomatosis with polyangiitis and Microscopic polyangiitis.[1]

Differentiating Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis from other Diseases
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause pulmonary eosinophilia and perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) such as:[2]
Pulmonary eosinophilia
- Parasitic infections
- Drugs
- Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis
Perinuclear ANCA
- Cystic Fibrosis
- Bronchogenic carcinoma
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Sclerosing cholangitis
- Myeloproliferative disorders
- Systemic lupus erythematosis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
Diagnosis of Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis
In order to make a diagnosis of Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis the following criteria must be present:
According to the American College of Rheumatology classification criteria [3] == in order to make a diagnosis of Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis the following criteria must be present:
| Asthma
Eosinophilia Polyneuropathy or Mononeuropathy Non fixed pulmonary infiltrates Paranasal sinus that is abnormal Eosinophil's that are extravascular |
Patients must express 4 out the 6 criteria to be diagnosed with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis. |
According to Lanham diagnostic criteria:
