Churg-Strauss syndrome, a rare condition, can present with lung infiltrates and eosinophilia. Skin nodules are a key diagnostic indicator, appearing in most patients with this rare autoimmune disorder.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine
  • Dermatology
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Churg-Strauss syndrome, also known as eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, is a rare systemic vasculitis.
  • It is characterized by asthma, hypereosinophilia, and systemic complications.

Observation:

  • A 62-year-old woman with asthma and allergic rhinitis presented with bilateral pulmonary infiltrates and significant eosinophilia.
  • Initial transbronchial biopsy was inconclusive for diagnosis.
  • The patient subsequently developed erythematous skin nodules on her feet.

Findings:

  • Biopsy of the skin nodules revealed necrotizing extravascular granulomas and dermal eosinophilic infiltration.
  • These findings were consistent with a diagnosis of Churg-Strauss syndrome.

  • Skin manifestations are common, occurring in approximately two-thirds of cases, though often nonspecific.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering Churg-Strauss syndrome in patients with asthma and unexplained pulmonary infiltrates and eosinophilia.
    • Cutaneous manifestations, such as nodules, can be crucial diagnostic clues.
    • Early recognition and diagnosis are vital for appropriate management of this rare autoimmune condition.
