Hypothesis: The cross-targeting of infections at the same tissue causes
autoimmune disease. One infection marks the outside while another marks
the inside...only then does the immune system become confused and
attack.
Churg-strauss syndrome: nasal polyps, asthma, rhinitis
staph or aspergillus?
Churg-strauss and rheumatoid
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12589235...rheumatoid factor was there and staph was too
Note that in the past had made associations of Aspergillus with Churg-strauss:

Churg-stauss and hepatitis B

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11791655
interesting especially after my other posts:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11361200
Takayasu: mycobacteria & hepatitis B
Churg-stauss: aspergillus & hepatitis B
Also keep in mind that I have connected Hashimoto's thyroid to fungal infections which means that Churg-strauss should have connections to Hashimoto's.
If the walls of the blood vessel become surface infected by staph or mycobacteria and then the cells themselves become infected with a virus I believe autoimmune cross-targeting can occur.
The infections can be different in triggering the autoimmune cross-targeting....because it is the target that is significant.

Great post. Here's my first hand account of my fight with Churg Strauss Syndrome. Hopefully it will help others. Churg Strauss - My Story http://www.churg-strauss-syndrome.com
