Article Abstract
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA, formerly Wegener granulomatosis) is a type of small artery necrotizing vasculitis that presents with various organ manifestations and disease severity. The most commonly and severely affected organs include the nasopharynx, lungs, and kidneys. However, it can have atypical presentations and lead to misdiagnosis. Here we present a case report of a patient diagnosed with GPA complicated by diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH), splenic infarctions, and stroke.

Background: Several real-world cohorts and numerous case reports investigating benralizumab outcomes in eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis have been published. These studies complement the limited clinical trial data available by providing early insights on benralizumab use in a broader, real-world population.
Objective: The objective of this systematic literature review (SLR) was to provide an overview of the real-world outcomes of benralizumab in EGPA.

Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a hematologic disorder characterized by an increased absolute eosinophil count (AEC) that can lead to tissue infiltration and damage. Idiopathic HES (iHES) comprises a subset of patients with HES, in which a reactive cause such as infections or an inflammatory process cannot be identified, and clonality is not demonstrable. iHES remains a challenge to treat since there is no specific mutation to target.

Spontaneous hemothorax is a rare but potentially life-threatening manifestation of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA). This case highlights the importance of considering vasculitis in unexplained hemothorax and underscores the role of early surgical intervention in preventing deterioration in immunosuppressed patients. Multidisciplinary management is crucial for timely diagnosis, treatment, and optimizing outcomes.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer treatment but are associated with various adverse effects, including myocarditis, with mortality rates up to 50%. We report a case of fatal ICI-related fulminant eosinophilic myo-pericarditis complicated by tamponade in a 69-year-old man with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma.
Case Summary: Two weeks after receiving one dose of pembrolizumab, the patient presented with sudden chest pain and dyspnoea.
