Abstract
- Churg-Strauss syndrome is a clinicopathologic disorder of severe asthma, fever , and eosinophilia together with systemic vasculitis involving various organ systems. Characteristic cutaneous lesions include erythematous maculopapules resembling erythema multiforme, hemorrhagic lesions, and cutaneous and subcutaneous nodules. Histologically, extravascular granuloma and leukocytoclastic vasculitis are the most common findings. We report a case of 40-year-old woman who presented with generalized multiple hemorrhagic bullae that had developed 1 month ago. Previously, She had allergic rhinitis and asthma. Laboratory studies revealed peripheral blood eosinophilia, and positive p-ANCA. Skin biopsy revealed eosinophilic infiltrates and leukocytoclastic vasculitis.
