Abstract:
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is characterised by many features, including asthma, allergic rhinitis, peripheral and tissue eosinophilia, and vasculitis. Its pathophysiology is still unclear and we suggest that there are different phenotypes of EGPA, which may respond differently to available treatments. Within the most promising targeting biotherapy, benralizumab, an anti-interleukin-5 receptor alpha monoclonal antibody, has proved both highly effective and safe. We report herewith a case of EGPA presenting a myocarditis relapse successfully treated with benralizumab.

Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...
