Churg-Strauss syndrome is a blood vessel inflammatory illness.
This inflammation can reduce blood supply to organs and tissues, causing them to be irreversibly damaged.
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis is another name for this disorder (EGPA).
The most prevalent symptom of Churg-Strauss syndrome is adult-onset asthma.
Nasal allergies, sinus difficulties, rash, gastrointestinal bleeding, and discomfort and numbness in your hands and feet are all possible side effects of the illness.
Churg-Strauss syndrome is uncommon and incurable.
Steroids and other powerful immunosuppressant medicines can generally control the symptoms.

Symptoms
Churg-Strauss syndrome manifests itself differently in each individual.
Some people merely experience minor signs and symptoms.
Others are dealing with serious or life-threatening issues.
The syndrome, also known as EGPA, usually occurs in three stages and gets worse over time.
Almost everyone with the illness has asthma, chronic sinusitis, and high eosinophil counts in their blood.
Other signs and symptoms to look out for are:
Appetite loss and weight loss
Muscle and joint pain
gastrointestinal bleeding and abdominal pain
Rash or skin sores Weakness, weariness, or an overall sense of being sick
In your hands and feet, you may experience pain, numbness, and tingling.
When should you see a doctor?
If you have trouble breathing or a chronic runny nose, see your doctor, especially if it’s accompanied by persistent facial pain.
If you have asthma or nasal allergies that have suddenly worsened, visit your doctor.
Churg-Strauss syndrome is uncommon, and these symptoms are more likely to be caused by something else.
However, it’s critical that your doctor examines them.
Early detection and treatment increase the likelihood of a positive outcome.
Make an Appointment at the Mayo Clinic
Churg-Strauss syndrome has a mostly unknown cause.
An overactive immune system is most likely triggered by a mix of genes and environmental factors, such as allergens or certain drugs.
The immune system, rather than protecting against invading germs and viruses, attacks healthy tissue, creating extensive inflammation.
Complications
The lungs, sinuses, skin, gastrointestinal system, kidneys, muscles, joints, and heart are all affected by Churg-Strauss syndrome.
The sickness can be lethal if not treated.
Complications can include the following, depending on the organs involved:
Damage to peripheral nerves.
The nerves in your hands and feet can be damaged by Churg-Strauss syndrome, resulting in numbness, burning, and loss of function.
Heart disease is a serious condition.
Inflammation of the membrane around your heart, inflammation of the muscle layer of your heart wall, heart attack, and heart failure are all heart-related consequences of Churg-Strauss syndrome.
Kidney failure.
If your kidneys are affected by Churg-Strauss syndrome, you may develop glomerulonephritis.
The ability of your kidneys to filter waste products is harmed by this condition, resulting in a buildup of waste materials in your circulation.
