Medical condition called churg strauss syndrom?


its a type of vasculitis

Churg Strauss Syndrome (also called Churg Strauss Vasculitis) is an extremely rare autoimmune disease of unknown cause, characterized by inflammation of the blood vessels in people who are asthmatic or have some type of allergic condition.

Although there is no "cure" for Churg Strauss, the symptoms have been shown to improve with regimens of corticosteroids and (although it is NOT a cancer) sometimes low dose chemotherapy.

See the link below for a more comprehensive description of this disease. Good luck.
