Churg Strauss Syndrome (CSS) is an ANCA associated small vessel vasculitis with eosinophilic infiltration. Renal involvement is frequent, although usually mild. We report a case of CSS with renal failure. Renal biopsy revealed necrotizing cresentic glomerulonephritis, eosonophilic arteritis and diffuses eosinophilic infiltration. Patient was successfully treated with combination of corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide. (JMed Sci 2009;12(1):21-23)
