Churg-Strauss syndrome is a rare disease with systemic vasculitis and hypereosinophilia. It is accompanied by allergic rhinitis and asthma. Herein, we present a case of Churg-Strauss syndrome in a family medicine outpatient clinic. This report aimed to emphasize that if patients diagnosed with asthma have cough and/or hemoptysis that cannot be controlled despite interventions such as inhalation, corticosteroid therapy, montelukast treatment, and anti-histamine therapy, vasculitic diseases involving the lung may be considered.
变应性肉芽肿性血管炎是一种罕见的伴有系统性血管炎和嗜酸性粒细胞增多的疾病。它常伴有变应性鼻炎和哮喘。在此,我们报告一例在家庭医学门诊诊断的变应性肉芽肿性血管炎病例。本报告旨在强调,如果已诊断为哮喘的患者尽管接受了吸入治疗、皮质类固醇治疗、孟鲁司特治疗和抗组胺治疗等干预措施,但咳嗽和/或咯血仍无法得到控制,则可能需要考虑肺部血管炎疾病。
