Untitled
This article is simply too technical for a lay audience and, in its present state, would be more suited to a medical textbook. It is jargon-heavy and assumes far too much prior knowledge. 217.155.20.163 23:00, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Risk Stratification nonsense
"Presence of 1 of these indicates severe disease (5-year mortality 26%) and 2 or more very severe disease (mortality 46%), while absence of any of these 5 indicates a milder case (mortality 11.9%)."
That seems to contradict itself fairly massively, I suspect someone has attempted to summarise the source too heavily and missed some important element. As I don't have access to pubmed, or the expertise to really interpret the contents, I can't help. Someone needs to correct, or erase, the section.
merge
Yes, Churg-Strauss needs to be merged with Churg-strauss. They're the same, except for the capitalization of the s. I'd do it now if I had the know-how. Cajolingwilhelm 01:12, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
LTA
Leukotriene antagonists have been linked with CSS. This is probably due to steroid withdrawal. An anon added a 1997 report about this, but since then there have been many reports weakening the association.

The article needs substantial rewriting at the moment. JFW | T@lk 07:59, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
What are the symptoms of Churg-Strauss
this article needs a section about symptoms, preferably by a doctor or researcher (not me) who knows what they're talking about.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 13:46, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
layman's terms?
why is it all these medical/medicine wikipedia pages are so hard to understand? I came here for general information on this syndrome and can't understand a thing I am reading. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.81.53.229 (talk) 20:35, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
What causes it?
This article really needs more about the cause of the syndrome. Please improve!
