This small case series contains a number of pearls. The typical presentation was
that of neuropathic symptoms, usually in the lower extremity
(mononeuritis and usually multiplex) in a patient with a history of
asthma for years. Most had a rash resembling Janeway lesions.
Consistent with what we have traditionally been taught, only about
half had a positive ANCA, mainly P. Think of it if your asthmatic
patient inexplicably begins complaining of foot pain or numbness.
