This French cohort is the biggest pediatric EGPA series described to date, with a long follow-up period. The findings confirm that pediatric EGPA has specific clinical, radiological, and histological characteristics that differ from adult EGPA. Development of systemic symptoms, and consequently diagnosis, occur with a shorter delay in children, mainly during the eosinophilic phase and leading to a specific presentation.
