title: [Churg-Strauss syndrome (two case reports)].
abstract: Churg-Strauss syndrome is a necrotizing vasculitis with multiple organ involvement characterized by asthma, peripheral blood eosinophilia, eosinophilic tissue infiltration and extravascular granulomas. A 35 years-old male with 6-months history of asthma and a 43 years-old female with 4-years history of asthma, were further examined due to clinical worsening and lesions on chest radiographs. They were finally diagnosed as Churg-Strauss syndrome. Clinical and radiological response to oral corticosteroid therapy was obtained.
