Churg-Strauss syndrome (also known as allergic granulomatosis) is a medium and small vessel vasculitis due to autoimmunity, leading to necrosis. It involves mainly the blood vessels of the lungs (it begins as a severe type of asthma), gastrointestinal system, and peripheral nerves, but also affects the heart, skin and kidneys. Churg-Strauss syndrome is classified both as a type of polyarteritis nodosa and, more broadly, as a diffuse connective tissue disease. It is a rare disease that is non-heritable, non-transmissale and often mis-diagnosed. less
