| Summary: | Mononeuritis multiplex is a common manifestation of many illnesses which includes Hansen’s disease and certain types of systemic
vasculitis. The Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody (ANCA)-Associated Vasculitis (AAV) is a group of rare diseases which show typical
characteristic inflammatory cell infiltration and blood vessel wall necrosis. AAV syndromes include Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis
(GPA), Microscopic Polyangiitis (MPA) and Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA). We describe a patient who presented
with mononeuritis multiplex and had features of overlap between EGPA and MPA. The patient was treated with standard regimen of
steroids and pulsed cyclophosphamide and she achieved excellent clinical remission. |
