Guest guest Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Interesting especially BECAUSE it mentions eosinophilia!!! And so many times here we've talked about this and most people say eosinophils and high levels of them are NOT related to Samters. I have been scared I had Churg-Strauss but now I am really wondering about this and how closely they are related, etc. I think this Widal is the same guy who the other Widal syndrome (the anemia) is named after but I'd have to double check. If so, shame on him for confusing everyone. Anyway, I think the eventual Samters foundation will have to use the term Dr. son coined or at least he uses, " AERD, Aspirin Exacerbated Respiratory Disease. " it's so much more descriptive.
