The first thing I think of is focal necrotizing vasculitis and necrotizing
granulomas in the lung.
In addition to what Idiopathic says. I think the boards would give a little more history.

well the key thing is ashma which points to only one condition on the list---churg strauss... churg strass could be c-anca positive(70%) or negative & it usu presents with asthmatic symptoms in the middle aged with haematuria haematochezia & haemoptysis. microscopic polyangitis has the same latter 3 signs but without the asthmatic symptoms. wegners does cause the symptoms but there is no association of it with asthma

You got me on that...I read right over it. Churg-Strauss is a vasculitis with asthma/eosinophilia. I did not know about the renal involvement though. VERY good question.

churg straus is thought to be a variant of PAN with pulm involvemnt and eiosinophilia. As renal involvment occurs in PAN so i guess renal involvement would be there in churg straus
