Churg-Strauss syndrome is a rare systemic vasculitis characterized by asthma and
other allergy symptoms as well as eosinophilia and necrotizing vasculitis
involving small and medium-sized vessels. Its prevalence in the general
population ranges from 1-3 cases per million a year, varying according to the
population studied. The authors describe a case of a female patient affected by
the disease with important systemic manifestations and not very florid skin
lesions.
