“Peripheral Neuropathy Crippling Bronchial Asthma”: Two Rare Case Reports of Churg-Strauss Syndrome

Abstract EN

Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is a rare cause of vasculitic neuropathy.

Although rare and potentially fatal, Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is easily diagnosable and treatable.

The presence of bronchial asthma with peripheral neuropathy in a patient alerts a physician to this diagnosis.

This is vividly illustrated by the presented two cases who had neuropathy associated with bronchial asthma, eosinophilia, sinusitis, and positive perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (p-ANCA) test, which improved with administration of steroids.
