A 50-year-old man with a history of severe asthma and tapering of prednisone took montelukast and developed an erythematous rash and mononeuritis multiplex skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of Churg-Strauss syndrome (10). 

A 54-year-old man with no history of glucocorticoid therapy presented with systemic symptoms and a purpuric rash after taking zafirlukast the diagnosis was Churg-Strauss syndrome (11). 

Once the diagnosis of eosinophilic pneumonia has been established, potential causes must be thoroughly investigated since identification of a cause may lead to effective therapeutic measures. When present, nonrespiratory manifestations contribute to the diagnosis of the possible clinical entity, especially for Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS).
