Churg-Strauss syndrome

Churg-Strauss syndrome is a rare autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks blood vessels, causing inflammation. This can restrict blood flow and damage tissues in organs like the lungs, skin, nerves, and sinuses. Often, it develops in people with asthma or allergies. Symptoms may include breathing difficulties, rashes, nerve pain, or sinus issues. While the exact cause is unknown, treatment typically involves corticosteroids and other immune-suppressing medications to reduce inflammation and control symptoms. Early diagnosis and management are important to prevent serious organ damage.
