A 64-year-old woman was admitted to hospital due to protracted diarrhea and liver dysfunction. The patient was diagnosed as Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) due to asthma, paranasal sinusitis, hypereosinophilia, and polyneuropathy. There was a history of taking montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA), which is thought to have some relationship with CSS. The liver biopsy specimen showed eosinophilic infiltration and centrolobular fatty change. In this paper, we review the relationship between LTRA and CSS. Several lines of evidence suggest that leukotriene plays an important role in maintaining neural tissues. We also review the potential relationship between centrolobular fatty change and pivoxil-containing antibiotics, which was prescribed for sinusitis before admission. Carnitine deficiency induced by pivoxil-containing agents may cause impaired fatty acid oxidation in mitochondria.

Purpose: Skeletal muscle affection already in the eosinophilic stage of Churg–Strauss syndrome (CSS) is unusual. Case report: In a 36-year-old woman with a history of recurrent bronchial infections since childhood, recurrent poly-sinusitis and nasal polyps, and bronchial asthma, easy fatigability, weakness of the lower arms and lower legs, generalized myalgias with predominance of the lower arms, recurrent vertigo and falls developed. There was recurrently elevated creatine-kinase, glutamate-oxalate-transaminase, aldolase, lactate-dehydrogenase, eosinophilic granulocyte-count, thrombocyte-count, cholesterol, and blood sedimentation rate. Histologically polyps showed diffuse infiltrations of eosinophils exclusively. Muscle biopsy revealed grouped atrophic fibers, necrotic fibers, rarely regenerating fibers, epitheloid cells and rarely perimysial eosinophilic granulozytes. According to established criteria, CSS was diagnosed. Conclusions: This case shows that affection of the skeletal muscle in CSS, may manifest as easy fatigability, myalgias, and recurrently elevated CK, and that skeletal muscle involvement may be a dominant feature not only of the vasculitic but also of the eosinophilic stage of CSS.

AbstractObjective:To present a case of a 60-year-old male with a history of sudden onset sensorineural hearing loss due to Churg–Strauss syndrome.Case report:The patient had a 20-year history of asthma and recurrent right otitis media and a nasal polypectomy four years prior to presenting with ear symptoms. Ear, nose and throat involvement is common in Churg–Strauss syndrome, usually manifesting as allergic rhinitis and chronic rhinosinusitis with or without polyps.Conclusions:Otolaryngologists play an important role in making an early diagnosis of this disease. To our knowledge this is the first case of Churg–Strauss syndrome primarily presenting with otological pathology: left sensorineural hearing loss and right otitis media.

Key words: Churg-strauss syndrome, Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis in childhood, Vasculitis, Asthma, Hypereosinophilia Background - Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, formerly known as Churg-Strauss syndrome, is an extremely rare systemic vasculitis in the paediatric population. The hallmarks of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis are a long history of asthma and peripheral eosinophilia with eosinophilic inflammation that may involve several organs. Findings - The paper reports the clinical characteristics, courses, and outcomes of the four patients diagnosed with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis at IRCCS Burlo Garofolo (Trieste, Italy) from 1996 to 2015. The mean age at diagnosis was 11.5 years. All the patients presented a history of asthma and peripheral eosinophilia at diagnosis. 3/4 of the children presented upper airway and pulmonary disease. Skin and heart involvement was present in half of the patients, whereas gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms were reported in 25% of the cases. When performed, tissue biopsy revealed eosinophilic inflammation in all the cases. Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies were negative in 66% patients. One young child died shortly after presentation, one remitted after immunosuppressive treatment and two patients needed low-dose corticosteroid therapy to maintain the remission. Conclusion - Comparison with an updated review of the series and cases of childhood-onset eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis reported in the literature showed similar demographic characteristics, clinical features and outcomes. Cardiac disease represents the poorer prognostic factor, leading to the 60% of the deaths reported.

Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is a rare autoimmune vasculitis of unknown etiology that involves small- and medium-sized blood vessels. Its onset is thought to be associated with adult-onset asthma, and vasculitis typically involves vessels in the lungs. However, due to increased blood and tissue eosinophilia, vasculitis may result in the involvement multiple systems of (neurological, skin, etc.). We report a case of CSS with manifestations that included skin purpura and severe peripheral nerve degeneration in a 56-year-old woman with a recent history of asthma. After the treatment with methylprednisolone and standard immunosuppressive therapy, her rashes resolved, there were no acute asthma attacks, and the numbness in her lower limbs improved.
