Abstract
This paper presents a clinical case of a child who has been observed since the age of 6 months for13 years and describes the progression of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Charge-Strauss syndrome). This case demonstrates the diagnosis challenges in the child with severe asthma and highlights the need to expand the knowledge of health care professionals in this field (pediatricians, rheumatologists, pulmonologists, allergologists, immunologists, dermatologists).
