Sandeep Kumar Kar, Rajat Choudhuri, Amartya Das and Nairita Mayur

Churg-Strauss syndrome is a vasculitis of medium to small sized vessels. Diagnosis is mainly clinical with findings of asthma, eosinophilia, rhinosinusitis and signs of vasculitis in major organs. Vitamin D is thought to be important for maintaining normal function of many non-skeletal tissues such as muscle (including heart muscle), immune function, and inflammation as well as cell proliferation and differentiation. The authors are reporting a case of 56 yrs. old male, a known patient of reactive airway disease who was diagnosed to have Churg Strauss Syndrome associated with severe Vitamin D deficiency and degenerative bone disease. There is a deficiency of adequate documentation of this syndrome along with Vitamin D deficiency in the present medical literature available.
