title: [Churg-Strauss syndrome and pulmonary fibrosis: an unusual association].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is characterized by asthma, hypereosinophilia, and vasculitis involving at least two extrapulmonary organs.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a case of a patient with antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody-negative CSS who developed pulmonary interstitial fibrosis (PIF).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The possible relations between CSS and PIF are discussed. Because this case report is the first to describe features of pulmonary fibrosis in a patient with CSS, we cannot know whether this association is causal or fortuitous.
