EGPA can affect any organ system, most commonly the lungs, skin, and the nervous system. However, limb ulcers are rare complications and have only been described in few case reports. Furthermore, no documented cases of EGPA have been treated with mepolizumab. Herein, we report a case of an 86-year-old Japanese woman with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-negative EGPA, who had an abrupt onset of upper limb ulcers and bilateral foot drop due to multiple mononeuropathy. Clinicopathological sural nerve biopsy showed eosinophil-associated vascular damage. The patient was administered steroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, vasodilators, and mepolizumab; this resulted in clinical improvement of her finger ulcers and peripheral neuropathy without any adverse effects. In cases of an abrupt onset of limb ischaemia and peripheral neuropathy, physicians should consider the possibility of EGPA as a differential diagnosis. Furthermore, the early administration of mepolizumab might yield better outcomes in terms of improving limb ischaemia and peripheral neuropathy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/mrcr\/rxac073","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,15]],"date-time":"2022-09-15T16:24:54Z","timestamp":1663259094000},"page":"142-147","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Mepolizumab
