Churg-Strauss syndrome presenting as polymiositis: report of a case
Rheumatismo, 08/06/09

Lazzarin P et al. – The authors reported the case of a male patient with Churg–Strauss syndrome (CSS) heralding as symptoms typical of polymiositis. During high–dose cortisone therapy (1.5 mg/kg/day), he developed a severe multiplex mononeuritis, poorly responsive to immunoglobulins and methotrexate administration. After 6 months he developed a partial deficiency of the right sciatic popliteus and the radial nerves.
