Abstract:
Churg-Strauss syndrome is a vasculitis-based pathology, predominantly characterized by asthma and eosinophilia. Histopathologically, the vessel wall infiltration contains a substantial proportion of eosinophils and extravascular granulomata can be demonstrated. We report a case of Churg-Strauss syndrome presenting as polymyositis.
