In a patient suffering from bronchial asthma of several years' standing, recently worsening physical condition, marked eosinophilia and pulmonary infiltrates, the clinical diagnosis of Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) was confirmed histologically. The patient improved impressively after the initiation of immunosuppressive therapy, in contrast to the often lethal course of this disease. Therefore, the possibility of CSS should be considered in every case of bronchial asthma with progressive worsening of the physical condition or in presence of leukocytosis with significant eosinophilia.
在一位患有数年支气管哮喘、近期身体状况恶化、显著嗜酸性粒细胞增多和肺部浸润的患者中，通过组织学检查确诊为变应性肉芽肿性血管炎（CSS）。与该疾病通常致命的病程不同，患者在开始免疫抑制治疗后显著好转。因此，对于每一例身体状况逐渐恶化的支气管哮喘患者或存在伴有显著嗜酸性粒细胞增多的白细胞增多症患者，都应考虑CSS的可能性。
