Wonder if Doc's can easily see the difference between the two diseases??

And I wonder if the new drug Nucala (mepolizumab) for this systemic vasculitis EGPA would work for GPA??

Good reads, and a goal listed for this treatment is the reduction of glucocorticoids. Oh my, imagine that...hmm another treatment suggesting not to shove pred down your patients throats...the true charlatans....dramatic much??
