[Cholestatic hepatitis: an uncommon presentation of Churg-Strauss syndrome].
Churg-Strauss syndrome is a rare form of severe vasculitis characterized by severe asthma and hypereosinophilia. Liver involvement is rare. We report a case of a woman with serious cholestatic hepatitis and vasculitis, without severe asthma. Marked hypereosinophilia and liver biopsy confirmed diagnosis. Churg-Strauss syndrome must be recognized because digestive involvement is very serious and affect the prognosis of this disease.
