ABSTRACT
Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS), known as eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, is a rare type of systemic vasculitis characterized by the presence of asthma, peripheral eosinophilia, and necrotizing vasculitis with eosinophilic infiltration of multiple organs. Approximately 3-4% of all CSS cases are associated with alveolar hemorrhage. Untreated CSS may lead to a poor prognosis, but glucocorticoid and cytotoxic agent treatments may result in clinical remission. The careful diagnosis and understanding of CSS is important for making treatment decisions and providing effective care. Here, we report a case of CSS with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage.
