Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA)
Compared to patients with other forms of vasculitis, patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) reported similar scores/ratings for flares, fatigue, pain, and current state of vasculitis at the July 2023 check-in. Patients with EGPA, however, scored their symptoms of vasculitis higher than others in the VPPRN community.
