Abstract

AYALA, José Javier  and  VELASQUEZ, Juan Carlos. Chürg-Strauss syndrome. Acta Med Colomb [online]. 2005, vol.30, n.3, pp.117-122. ISSN 0120-2448.

Chürg-Strauss Syndrome was described in 1951 and it is characterized by asthma, fever, hypereosinophilia and vasculitis. In 1990, following the discussion of several proposals for its classification, the American College of Rheumatology established its diagnostic criteria. A 55 year-old female patient was seen recently at the Military Hospital in Bogotá, Colombia, with leucocytoclastic vasculitis, wheezing, pulmonary infiltrates and hypereosinophilia, who met all the criteria to be classified as a Chürg-Strauss patient.

Keywords : Chürg Strauss syndrome; eosinophylia.
