Churg-Strauss Syndrome or Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis: Exuberant Classic Clinical Picture of a Rare Disease

Abstract

The authors present a classic case of Churg-Strauss syndrome with an exuberant clinical picture in a 34-year-old woman. She showed the following diagnostic criteria: asthma, polyneuropathy, rhinopathy, marked eosinophilia, positive p-ANCA with a perinuclear pattern, and skin histopathology results suggestive of vasculitis with eosinophils. There was a good response to prednisone, dexamethasone pulse therapy, and cyclophosphamide.
