Can EGPA come back?

After you go into remission, it is possible that the EGPA. can come back (relapse). People with asthma or nasal allergies can often have worsening of these symptoms that is separate from vasculitis. Relapses involving vasculitis occur in about 30% to 50% of people with EGPA. These relapses may be similar to what you experienced at the time of their vasculitis diagnosis.

It’s possible to reduce the likelihood of a severe relapse by reporting any new symptoms to your healthcare provider right away, seeing the healthcare provider on a regular basis, and having regular checkups with laboratory tests and imaging. The treatment approach for relapses is similar to that of newly diagnosed disease, and it’s possible again for these people to go into remission again.
