Abstract
Churg-Strauss Syndrome is a disorder of hypereosinophilia and systemic vasculitis in subjects with asthma and allergic rhinitis. Clinically, a multiple organ system can be involved with various manifestations of disease of lung, heart, skin, musculoskeletal system, nervous system, gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary tract. We experienced a case of Churg- Strauss syndrome presenting as the appendicitis and the lower gastrointestinal bleeding in a 37-year-old male patient with acute lower abdominal pain. He also showed peripheral eosinophilia, bronchial asthma, and mononeuritis multiplex. He initially received a high dose corticosteroid and was maintained with low doses of corticosteroid, cyclophosphomide and exchange plasmapheresis. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 19: 977∼982, 1999)
