[Unexpected death due to eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Churg-Strauss syndrome)].

We present the case report of a 38-year-old male with a history of asthma. After a month-and-a-half of progressive weakness, no fever, diarrhea, vomiting and abdominal pain associated with weight loss, he was diagnosed of intestinal parasitosis. He later died of a massive myocardial necrosis due to EGPA with multiple organs affected.
