Summary:
Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS), allergic granulomatous
angiitis, is an uncommon disorder characterized by asthma,
hypereosinophilia andsystemic vasculitis.The cause
of Churg-Strauss syndrome is unknown, but its characteristic
histological findings and association with
asthma distinguish it from other vasculitides. Clinical
manifestations of this syndrome include most frequently
pulmonary, nervous system, cutaneous, gastrointestional
and renal diseases. Gastrointestinal manifestations were
reported to occur in 32–89% of patients with CSS and
severe manifestations were considered to be associated
with poor prognosis for systemic vasculitis. We describe
a case report of 60 years old woman with CSS, in which
during presentation of illness appeared enterorrhagia.
Key words:
