[Treatment of asthma with antileukotrienes and Churg-Strauss syndrome].

Since antileukotriene treatment for asthma was introduced, there has been debate about whether such therapy can lead to Churg-Strauss Syndrome (CSS) or whether CSS is simply inhibited by the use of steroids, as various authors have suggested. We report a case in which we suspected CSS in a patient with bronchopulmonary, cutaneous and analytical signs and whom we treated with oral steroids. After clinical improvement, one year later, steroids were replaced by antileukotrienes, after which the same clinical picture developed. The vasculitis characteristic of CSS was confirmed pathologically.

[Giant bulla and lung cancer].

Several cases of lung cancer lying within giant bullae have been reported in recent years, such that some authors have posited an association between the two diseases. We describe a patient with a diagnosis of giant bulla in the right lung who presented carcinoma of the lung found within the bulla ten years later. After carrying out a MEDLINE (CD-ROM 1980 to 2000) search of the literature, we agree with other authors on the need to follow the course of patients with bullous lung disease in order to detect the possible development of lung cancer and initiate early treatment.
