Abstract:
A female patient with asthmatic attacks developed signs of peripheral and central nervous system involvement, cutaneous and joint manifestations, pulmonary and gastrointestinal involvement, with significant body weight loss. A blood eosinophilia was found and muscle biopsy revealed tissue infiltration by eosinophils and vasculitis. Very short interval from onset of first symptoms to appearance of vasculitis is a bad prognostic sign and probably cause of unsuccessful therapy.
