Pediatric Churg-Strauss syndrome in Mexico.
Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is one of the rarest forms of vasculitis, and very rarely presents in the pediatric population. We present two cases of childhood CSS, both with hepatic and cardiac involvement. To our knowledge, these are the first two cases of CSS in the pediatric population described in Mexico.
