Churg-Strauss syndrome and granulomatous cholangiopathy

Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2000 Jul;12(7):809-11. doi: 10.1097/00042737-200012070-00016.

Abstract

Churg-Strauss syndrome is a vasculitis that is known to have gastroenterological manifestations. There have been no reports associating it with liver disease. We present a case of this syndrome in a man who was found to develop a co-existent cholangiopathy. It is likely that this represents an associated granulomatous reaction consequent to a hepatic manifestation of the vasculitis.
