Abstract

Further examination has been made in a 75-year-old woman and a 38-year-old man who had diagnosis of asthma 15 and 6 years respectively, as they had increase in respiratory symptoms and as there were pathology in their chest Xrays. Both patients had a history of sinusitis and eosinophilia in peripheral blood, their bronchioalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid also showed presence of eosinophilia. The patients were diagnosed as Churg-Strauss syndrome and 0.5 mg/kg/day prednisolon therapy was applied in decreasing doses for 1 year. During clinical and radiological controls at the 14th days of their treatments significant healing was detected in both patients.

Özet

75 yaşında bir kadın ve 38 yaşında bir erkek hasta, sırasıyla 15 ve 6 yıldır astım tanısı ile izlenirken solunum semptomları nda artış olması nedeniyle çekilen akciğer grafilerinde patoloji saptanarak ileri incelemeleri yapıldı. Her iki hastanın sinüzit öyküsü vardı ve laboratuvar verileri periferik kanda eozinofili ve bronkoalveoler lavaj (BAL) sıvısında eozinofili varlığını gösterdi. Hastalara Churg-Strauss sendromu tanısı konuldu ve 1 yıl süreyle giderek azalan dozlarda, 0.5 mg/kg/gün prednizolon tedavisi uygulandı. Tedavilerinin 14. gününde yapılan klinik ve radyolojik kontrolde ikisinde de belirgin düzelme olduğu görüldü.
