Drugs and ANCA – an atypical association

Eosinophilic vasculitis is a rare condition due to vascular damage and infiltration of eosinophils into tissues. Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA), like perinuclear ANCA (p-ANCA), is common in the context of systemic vasculitis, but its association with illicit drug use is unusual. This case report showcases a distinctive scenario featuring a positive pANCA, prompting a meticulous examination of the interplay between vasculitic manifestations and drug abuse.
