| Core Tip |
1. To be able to investigate the etiology of pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade with eosinophilia which is rarely caused by EGPA. 2. To be mindful that ANCA is negative in EGPA with cardiac involvement rather than pulmonary or renal involvement. 3. To be aware that when isolated pericardial involvement leading to cardiac tamponade occurs, diagnosis is recognized by performing pericardial biopsy demonstrating histopathologic evidence of eosinophilic infiltration. 4. To consider early diagnosis of EGPA with cardiac involvement is crucial because it carries a major burden of morbidity and mortality. 5. To initiate early treatment with corticosteroids when an isolated pericardial involvement is present whereas immunosuppressants are utilized with multiorgan involvement. 6. To conduct close surveillance in the outpatient setting to monitor the response to treatment and maintenance medications such as steroids and monoclonal antibodies. |
