[Churg-Strauss syndrome]

Churg-Strauss syndrome is a systemic, granulomatous, necrotizing, and eosinophilic angiitis, associated with febrile bronchitis. The full-blown picture of the disease does not develop, however, but in the course of several years. We discuss the problems of diagnosis and treatment of this syndrome in the light of a case report concerning a 43-year-old woman suffering from Churg-Strauss syndrome.
