What is the outlook for people with EGPA?
Although EGPA can be an increasingly serious illness, many people do extremely well. On average, after five years of illness, more than 80% of people survive the effects of EGPA. How those with EGPA do is strongly related to how severe their illness is.
The best opportunity to limit damage to the organs is when treatment starts right away and is carefully supervised by a healthcare provider who is knowledgeable about EGPA. Even people who have the most severe EGPA can go into remission when they are treated quickly and followed closely.
