Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (Churg-Strauss Syndrome)

Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis, also known as Churg-Strauss Syndrome, is a rare autoimmune condition characterized by inflammation of blood vessels (vasculitis). It primarily affects small to medium-sized vessels and often occurs in people with a history of asthma or allergies. The condition is marked by high levels of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, leading to symptoms like asthma, skin rashes, sinus problems, and organ damage. Treatment typically involves medications to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system, helping to control symptoms and prevent severe complications.
