Overview

According to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis is classified using 6 criteria.

Classification

According to the 2012 Revised International Chapel Hill Consensus Conference Nomenclature of Vasculitides (DOI 10.1002/art.37715), Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangitis (formerly known as Churg-Strauss' syndrome) belongs to the category of ANCA associated vasculitides of the small vessels.

According to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis is classified by 6 criteria. They are:[1]

American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Classification of Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis
Asthma
Eosinophilia > 10%
Neuropathy (mononeuropathy or polyneuropathy)
Pulmonary infiltrate, non fixed
Paranasal sinus abnormality
Biopsy that shows extravascular eosinophil infiltration

4 out of the 6 criteria are needed to distinguish Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis from other vasculitides.
