[Eosinophilic myocarditis in allergic angiitis and granulomatosis (Churg-Strauss syndrome) ].
Allergic angiitis and granulomatosis (Churg-Strauss syndrome) is one of the rare form of idiopathic (primary) vasculitis. It is characterized by asthma, blood hypereosinophilia and typical microscopic features: nectrotizing vasculitis, tissue infiltration by eosinophils and extravasal granulomas. We present an autopsy case of 55-years old man with Churg-Strauss syndrome complicated by eosinophilic myocarditis.
