Polyarteritis with lung involvement [Churg-Strauss]

Churg-Strauss syndrome, also called eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, is a rare autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of blood vessels throughout the body, especially affecting the lungs. It typically occurs in people with a history of asthma or allergies and can damage multiple organs including heart, nerves, and kidneys. Early diagnosis and treatment with immunosuppressive medications is crucial to prevent serious complications.
