Rationale:
n/a
Purpose:
Churg-Strauss Syndrome (CSS) is a rare immune system disorder that causes asthma, an
excessive number of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) in the blood, and the
inflammation of blood vessels, or vasculitis. In order to properly treat CSS, it is critical
that the level of disease activity can be determined over the course of the disease. The
purpose of this study is to determine new biological markers, or biomarkers, that may be
used to assess the severity of this disease in people with CSS.
