Abstract:
We report the case of a 44-year-old woman affected by Churg-Strauss syndrome (systemic vasculitis with eosinophilia, bronchial asthma and pulmonary infiltrations). Congestive heart failure developed, caused by severe myocardial and pulmonary involvement. Conventional treatment and steroids induced remission of symptoms.
