Dr. Marc Ramentol, researcher from the Systemic Diseases group at Vall d’Hebron Institute of Research (VHIR), has been granted with the "http://mutualmedica.com/es/premios-investigacion.html" Mutual Médica 2014 call, endowed with 4,000 euros, to investigate whether the persistent symptoms in the remission phase of Churg-Strauss syndrome are caused by an autoimmune expression of the disease. In the ceremony award, VHIR researcher highlighted the “rigorousness and the impartiality of the jury in the selection of the projects submitted, which means a great reputation for the young researchers awarded”.The eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis or Churg-Strauss syndrome is a systemic rare disease, with a prevalence of 2-6 cases out of one million people, which usually appears in patients who had previously suffered allergic asthma.
