GPA treatment depends on the severity of the disease. [8] Severe disease is typically treated with a combination of immunosuppressive medications such as rituximab or cyclophosphamide and high-dose corticosteroids to control the symptoms of the disease and azathioprine , methotrexate , or rituximab to keep the disease under control.
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis consists of three stages, but not all patients develop all three stages or progress from one stage to the next in the same order; [7] whereas some patients may develop severe or life-threatening complications such as gastrointestinal involvement and heart disease, some patients are only mildly affected, e.g. with skin lesions and nasal polyps.

Palisaded neutrophilic and granulomatous dermaititis is associated with subacute bacterial endocarditis, [4] ledipasvir/sofosbuvir, [5] allopurinol, [6] Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, [4] chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, [7] ulcerative colitis, [8] Takayasu arteritis, [4] systemic vasculitis, [8] systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), [9] sarcoidosis, [10] rheumatoid arthritis, [11 ...
The disease often goes untreated because of the scarcity of medical treatment in the countries in which it is found. In addition, the painless genital ulcers can be mistaken for syphilis .
