title: [Churg-Strauss syndrome disclosed by polyneuritis (apropos of a case in a Senegalese patient].
abstract: The Churg and Strauss syndrome is a clinico-pathological entity clinically characterised by asthma gravis, systemic manifestations and hypereosinophilia. About one observation, authors set up the problem of the analogy existing between this syndrome and PAN and emphasized the possible role of hypereosinophilia in the ischemic neuropathy apparition. In therapeutical point of view, the early steroid therapy with cyclophosphamide and plasmapheresis association is emphasized.
