Case report reveals pericarditis with eosinophilia in a 24-year-old, suggesting Churg-Strauss syndrome.

Diagnosis of churg-strauss syndrome was confirmed in a 24-year-old woman with pericarditis and eosinophilia.
Elevated markers included eosinophilia at 8.23 × 103/ul and C-reactive protein at 112 mg/dl, indicating inflammation.
Transthoracic echocardiography identified a small pericardial effusion, and treatment with corticosteroids led to remission.
Awareness of churg-strauss syndrome as a differential diagnosis for pericarditis is crucial due to its complex presentations.

A 2025 study studied this question.
