Allergic granulomatosis: Churg-Strauss syndrome

Deposition of eosinophil cationic protein in granulomas in allergic granulomatosis and vasculitis: the Churg-Strauss syndrome.

Biopsy specimens and tissues obtained at necropsy from two women who died after developing the Churg-Strauss syndrome were analysed to see whether granulomas in these patients contained activated eosinophils or secreted eosinophil cationic proteins, or both. Immunocytochemical studies with monoclonal antibody EG2 showed large amounts of eosinophil cationic protein and eosinophil protein-X (whic...

A 51 year old Chinese woman suffering from classical Churg-Strauss syndrome is presented. She deteriorated with acute pulmonary infiltrates resulting in hypoxaemic respiratory failure but responded dramatically with 'pulse' intravenous cyclophosphamide.
