ABSTRACT
Eosinophillic glanuromatosis with polyangitis (EGPA) usually occurs in patients with a recent history (usually less than 10 years) of uncontrolled bronchial asthma. Here we describe a case of EGPA that occurred in a 68-year-old female who had well-controlled bronchial asthma for 17 years. A leukotriene receptor antagonist that had been prescribed one week before onset might have triggered the disease. Our case shows that there is a wide spectrum of clinical characteristics of EGPA, making diagnosis difficult in a primary care setting.
