A CASE OF CHURG-STRAUSS SYNDROME WITH PERICARDIAL EFFUSION

Öz

Churg-Strauss Syndrome (CSS) is a rare systemic disease characterized by asthma, eosinophilia and inflammation of small to medium sized blood vessels. This paper reports a patient who presented with dyspnea and cough, and who was diagnosed as asthma, pericardial effusion and eosinophilia. 50 year old male patient was admitted with dyspnea, chest pain, cough and sputum complaints for one year. Pulmonary function tests detected moderate reversible airflow obstruction. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed pericardial effusion. Eosinophilia was detected in both peripheric blood count and bronchial lavage. There were transient pulmonary infiltrates on chest X-ray. It was finally diagnosed as Churg-Strauss Syndrome with these findings. Corticosteroid therapy was performed. Clinical and radiological symptoms were improved with this treatment.
