Churg Straus Syndrome is a rare disease and a less common type of vasculitis, its annual incidence and prevalence were 0.9-2.4 per million and 10.7-17.8 per million, respectively. Vasculitides are responsible for an important impact on the quality of life of those affected, being responsible for high values of incapacity for work. The aim of the present study is to report a case of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis in a 25-year-old female patient. Conclusions: In the case in question, pulse therapy with corticosteroids was started for 3 consecutive days and then prednisone 1mg/kg/day was started. Although it is a serious pathology with a reserved prognosis, we observed a favorable evolution with the treatment instituted. Its diagnosis and early intervention improves the quality of life of patients and the prognosis of the disease. EGPA should be present as a differential diagnosis of peripheral eosinophilia associated with peripheral neuropathy and asthma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
