Resumo

A síndroma de Churg-Strauss (SCS) é uma vasculite sistémica pouco comum, que atinge preferencialmente vasos de pequeno calibre, envolve múltiplos órgãos e surge quase sempre associada a asma e eosinofilia.

Os autores fazem uma revisão sobre esta doença e discutem o seu diagnóstico diferencial a propósito do caso clínico de uma mulher com diagnóstico de asma brônquica que aos 65 anos inicia quadro compatível com SCS.
