Churg-Strauss syndrome (new name Eosinophilic granulomatosis and polyangiitis); asthma, fever, peripheral blood eosinophilia, eosinophilic tissue infiltration, small and medium sized arteries characterized by necrotizing granulomatous inflammation is a multisystemic disorder. Classified in ANCA associated vasculitis. The drugs such as leukotriene receptor antagonists (montelukast, zafirlukast, pranlukast), inhaled glucocorticoids, omalizumab, cocaine and clarithromycin is thought to be associated with Churg-Strauss Syndrome cases have been reported. Herein we presented a rare three CSS cases associated with montelukast.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Öz

Churg-Strauss Sendromu yeni adıyla Eozinofilik Granülomatosis ve Polianjiitis; astım, ateş, periferik kanda eozinofili, eozinofilik doku infiltrasyonu, küçük ve orta çaptaki damarların nekrotizan granülomatöz inflamasyonu ile karakterize multisistemik bir hastalıktır. ANCA ilişkili vaskülitler içinde sınıflandırılmaktadır. Lökotrien reseptör antagonistleri (montelukast, zafirlukast, pranlukast), inhaler glukokortikoidler, omalizumab, kokain ve klaritromisin gibi ilaçlarla ilişkili olduğu düşünülen Churg-Strauss Sendromu vakaları bildirilmiştir. Burada montelukast ile ilişkili nadir görülen 3 CSS olgusu sunulmuştur.
