Overview[edit | edit source]

There are no clinically significant ultrasound findings associated with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
- Ultrasound can be helpful in evaluating renal, pleural and cardiac involvement. It can be helpful in evaluating disease extension and activity.^[1]
Nerve sonography studies may show the evidence of nerve enlargement.^[2]^[3]
