churg-strauss syndrome (css) is a small vessel granulomatous vasculitis that characteristically affects the middle age group and is extremely rare in children. we describe an 8-year-old girl with a prolonged history of cough and eosinophilia that initially was labeled as pulmonary tuberculosis, but after complementary assays, associated with skin biopsy, eosinophilic fibrinoid vasculitis, css w...

Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is a rare cause of vasculitic neuropathy. Although rare and potentially fatal, Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is easily diagnosable and treatable. The presence of bronchial asthma with peripheral neuropathy in a patient alerts a physician to this diagnosis. This is vividly illustrated by the presented two cases who had neuropathy associated with bronchial asthma, eosi...

The Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS), also called allergic granulomatosis and angiitis, is a multisystem disorder characterized by allergic rhinitis, asthma, and prominent peripheral blood eosinophilia. CSS is classified as a vasculitis of the small and medium sized arteries, which commonly involve the lung, the skin and the peripheral nerves and it is associated to ANCA in 40-60 percent (Sinico & ...

Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is a rare multisystemic disorder of unknown origin and cardiac involvement is one of the most serious manifestations of the disease, accounting for approximately one-half of deaths attributable to CSS. Cardiac manifestation can be acute and mimic acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In this setting checking the blood leucocyte count can reveal hypereosinophilia and lead t...

churg-strauss syndrome (css) is a granulomatous small vessel vasculitis . it is characterized by asthma, allergic granulomatosis and vasculitis . this syndrome is rare in children. a 5 years old boy was admitted with cough, fever and dyspnea for 2 weeks. on the basis of  laboratory data (peripheral eosinophilia), associated with skin biopsy, and history of css in his sister, this disease was ev...

Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is a rare disease that has an extremely low incidence rate. CSS prognosis is good, in general; and there are no reports of multiple-organ hemorrhage in CSS. We report a unique case of CSS, wherein, an elderly man experienced multiple organ hemorrhage -- a particularly huge hematoma under the capsule of the liver and poor prognosis.

PURPOSE Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is a rare autoimmune disease with small-vessel vasculitis. Neurological manifestation of CSS is common. Central nervous system is less frequently involved than that of peripheral nervous system. CASE REPORT We report a case of 60-year-old man who presented with acute onset of right hemiparesis and impaired cognition. The presence of hypereosinophilia, asth...

Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is a systemic necrotizing vasculitis of the small and medium vessels, associated with extravascular eosinophilic granulomas, peripheral eosinophilia, and asthma. The exact etiology of CSS is unknown. This syndrome commonly affects the lungs, peripheral nerves, skin, heart, and gastrointestinal tract, but rarely the central nervous system. Subarachnoid and intracereb...

Several cases of eosinophilic conditions including Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) have recently been reported in asthmatic patients being treated with antileukotriene receptor antagonists. One patient with CSS who experienced a clinical relapse after treatment with montelukast and two asthmatic patients who developed CSS while receiving montelukast treatment are described. In one case reduction i...

l eukotriene receptor antagonists have been used successfully for asthma treatment. These drugs could induce eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), previously known as Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS), in patients who are prone to develop autoimmune diseases [1] One of the most important adjuvants responsible for developing ASIA (autoimmune/ inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants...
