Churg Strauss Syndrome with Migratory Polyarthritis

Abstract

Arnon Blum and Amal Arabi

Churg Strauss Syndrome (CSS) is a rare systemic vasculitis associated with asthma, eosinophilia, sinusitis and pulmonary infiltrates. A 49 years old woman was admitted with migratory polyarthritis and Churg Strauss Syndrome. We will discuss the findings that lead to the diagnosis of CSS and we will raise the possibility that she might have a new syndrome that includes CSS with migratory polyarthritis. Until now there have no reports describing patients with CSS and arthritis. There have been some cases with arthrlagia, but our case represents the first case that was admitted with arthritis. This case is a novel case describing a new combination of migratory arthritis in a patient suffering from CSS.
