Abstract
Allergic granulomatous vasculitis, or Churg-Strauss syndrome, is a small-vessel, multisystem vasculitis that
can affect the skin, lungs, heart, and nervous system. Recent reports have implicated leukotriene receptor
antagonists and inhaled corticosteroids in the development of this rare syndrome. We present a patient with
no history of allergic asthma who acutely developed skin-limited Churg-Strauss-like granulomatous
vasculitis after initiating therapy with inhaled fluticasone and salmeterol (Advair Diskus).
