Wegener’s Granulomatosis with Peripheral Eosinophilia in a Young Adult Patient

Abstract

Wegener’s granulomatosis is a rare autoimmue disease with multi-system involvement that manifests as granulomatous vasculitic lesions, mainly involving the upper respiratory tract, lower respiratory tract and kidney. We present a case in a young adult male patient presenting with complaints of epistaxis, cough and hemoptysis who was diagnosed as Wegener’s granulomatosiswith peripheral eosinophilia on the basis of chest x-ray and CT Chest and pathological confirmation by high level of serum cytoplasmic antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jom.v14i2.19689 J Medicine 2013, 14(2): 204-206

Hypereosinophilia Syndrome: Myriad Presentation—A Case Report

“…4 HES frequently have an impact on the skin, lungs, heart, spleen, and nervous system. 5 In the case of our patient, the patient reported having a temperature and experiencing stomach pain, and an examination of the urine revealed many pus cells, which was indicative of cystitis.…”

“…Eosinophils can harm target organs in a variety of ways, with the skin, heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, and central and peripheral nervous systems accounting for more than 50% of cases. 4,5 Other frequent side effects include hepato and/or splenomegaly, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, and coagulation issues. 5 Three young people who presented with eosinophilic gastritis, cystitis, and endocarditis are emphasized in this case series.…”

A Case of Tropical Pulmonary Eosinophilia With Incomplete Response to Diethylcarbamazine Therapy

“…The clinical presentation of these helminthic infections is often quite similar to TPE [10]. Non-infectious causes of pulmonary eosinophilia include allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, bronchial asthma, acute eosinophilic pneumonia, chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis, and drug-induced hypersensitivity reaction [3,11]. The above-mentioned differential diagnosis should be considered during the evaluation of peripheral eosinophilia with pulmonary infiltrates.…”
