    <abstract locale="en_US">Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is a granulomatous small vessel vasculitis . It is characterized by asthma, allergic granulomatosis and vasculitis . This syndrome is rare in children. A 5 years old boy was admitted with cough, fever and dyspnea for 2 weeks. On the basis of&#xA0; laboratory data (peripheral eosinophilia), associated with skin biopsy, and history of CSS in his sister, this disease was eventually diagnosed. The patient had good response to corticosteroid.In&#xA0; every&#xA0; asthmatic&#xA0; patient&#xA0; with&#xA0; prolonged&#xA0; fever, eosinophilia&#xA0; and&#xA0; multisystemic involvment, CSS should be considered.</abstract>
