Other names: Churg-Strauss Allergic Angiitis; Churg-Strauss Syndrome

Churg-Strauss syndrome (allergic angiitis or granulomatosis) is rare disorder marked by blood vessel inflammation. This inflammation causes injury to organ systems – the most commonly involved are the lungs, nose, sinuses, skin, joints, nerves, intestinal tract, heart, and kidneys. A main feature of CSS is that all patients have had a history of asthma and/or allergies. The cause is unknown although the immune system is involved. Patients who have CSS feel generally ill and fatigued, have fevers, or have a loss of appetite and weight. Other specific symptoms depend on the organs or diseases involved. There's no cure for Churg-Strauss syndrome, but certain medications may help even people with serious symptoms achieve remission.
