Charg-Strauss syndrome (Churg-Strauss syndrome) is a rare congenital autoimmune disease characterized by pathologies of the development of various organs. It develops either as a result of a genetic mutation (mutation of the CHD7 gene), or under the influence of external factors. The disease was first described in 1951 as “allergic granulomatosis” by two authors Jacob Churg and Lotte Strauss [1] [2] .
