AB  - We report on a case of Churg-Strauss syndrome in a 30 year old male with a history of perennial rhinitis. The syndrome began nine months earlier with clinico-radiological features typical of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia. Diagnosis of vasculitis was made by skin biopsy, and at that time there was multisystemic involvement with pulmonary, cardiac, renal, cutaneous and muscular disease, and right vocal chord paralysis, which improved with corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide. This case report illustrates the possible overlap of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia and the Churg-Strauss syndrome.
