ABSTRACT
Diagnosis of Churg-Strauss syndrome should be considered in young asthmatics with fatigue and eosinophilia. On the base of the etiopathology of a 19-year old man, who was initially admitted because of dyspnoea, fever and acute chest pain, we show that eosinophilia gives an important hint for further diagnostic and is the key trend parameter. Histologically an eosinophilic myocarditis could be shown in the myocardial biopsy. High dose prednisolone induced a clear improvement in symptoms, with decrease of the inflammatory signs and the eosinophilia and a clear improvement of the left ventricular function.
