Abstract
The patient is a known case of Asthma with marked peripheral eosinophilia developed recurrent haemoptysis and lung infiltrates. Bronchoscopic lavage and FNAC of lung showed pulmonary eosinophilia. Due to raised IgE levels and strongly positive pANCA, the case was diagnosed as Churg Strauss syndrome. He responded well to corticosteroids with complete resolution and is presently on the tapering doses.
