Popis: Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare systemic vasculitis of small to medium vessels. Gastrointestinal involvement is uncommon and is associated with higher mortality. Treatment is based on empiric evidence. In this article, we report a case of EGPA-related pancolitis and stricturing small bowel disease managed with a combination of mepolizumab and surgical resection.
