title: Recurrent wheezing … is it only asthma?
abstract: We report the case of an 18-year-old female patient observed in our allergy clinic with a diagnosis of uncontrolled asthma. The unexpected behaviour of the disease led us to consider other diagnoses and we finally diagnosed Churg-Strauss syndrome, a rare multisystem disorder requiring a different clinical approach.
