Abstract
Churg-Strauss syndrome is a rare multisystem disorder characterized by asthma, eosinophilia, and vasculitis. The patient presented with prolonged fever, cough with blood-stained sputum, weight loss, pain in the abdomen, and a subsequent onset of hoarseness of voice. A history of asthma, left-side vocal cord paralysis, eosinophilia, nodular opacities on radiography, and eosinophilic duodenitis on biopsy led to a diagnosis of Churg-Strauss syndrome. The patient’s condition improved on treatment with steroids. This is an interesting case and presents an opportunity to learn about Churg-Strauss syndrome.
