“…However, it may become difficult to diagnose a patient as having CSS without the two major symptoms. 8 In this study one patient had a negative history of bronchial asthma, and two patients had neither bronchial asthma nor mononeuritis multiplex. Abnormal levels of eosinophils and immunoglobulinemia E were clues to diagnosis in these three patients.…”

“…When bronchial asthma and mononeuritis multiplex are apparent, diagnosis of CSS is not necessarily difficult. However, it may become difficult to diagnose a patient as having CSS without the two major symptoms 8 . In this study one patient had a negative history of bronchial asthma, and two patients had neither bronchial asthma nor mononeuritis multiplex.…”
Although general assessments based on various factors such as medical history, clinical manifestation and laboratory studies are indispensable in CSS, MPO-ANCA might be useful as a predictor of renal dysfunction in patients with CSS.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
