Vasculitis syndromes rarely occur in association with pregnancy and usually have a poor prognosis. We report the case of a 32-year-old woman, affected by Churg-Strauss syndrome in complete remission at the time of conception, who completed a successful pregnancy. The patient did well except for a recurrence of allergic rhinitis and asthma which apparently responded to an increase in steroid dosage. Clinical implications of vasculitis and pregnancy are discussed.

Abstract

Vasculitis syndromes rarely occur in association with pregnancy and usually have a poor prognosis. We report the case of a 32-year-old woman, affected by Churg-Strauss syndrome in complete remission at the time of conception, who completed a successful pregnancy. The patient did well except for a recurrence of allergic rhinitis and asthma which apparently responded to an increase in steroid dosage. Clinical implications of vasculitis and pregnancy are discussed.
