Background:

Allergic granulomatosis and angiitis (Churg-Strauss syndrome) is a rare systemic vasculitis.
It is defined by the presence of bronchial asthma and eosinophilia.

Observation:

Pathological findings include necrotizing vasculitis of small arteries and veins.
Extravascular granulomas and eosinophilic infiltration of vessels and surrounding tissue are characteristic.
Common manifestations involve the lungs, peripheral nervous system, cardiovascular system, and skin.

Findings:

Renal failure and hypertension are less common manifestations.
Churg-Strauss syndrome is differentiated from polyarteritis nodosa by its association with asthma and eosinophilia.
The combination of steroid and cyclophosphamide therapy has significantly improved prognosis.
