[The characteristics of a case of Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS)].
The authors present the case of a 35-years-old female with severe bronchial asthma non-responding to treatment, mobile infiltrative pulmonary images on chest X-ray considered and treated first as pulmonary tuberculosis smear-negative, maculo-papular skin lesions on the limbs and a high percentage of eosinophils in peripheral blood. The diagnosis was settled by histologic examination of the skin lesions. The evolution was very good with high doses of oral corticosteroids.
