Blood eosinophilia can be classified as either familial or acquired. Familial eosinophilia is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by a stable eosinophil count. Acquired eosinophilia is classified further into a primary or secondary phenomenon depending on whether eosinophils are considered integral to the underlying disease. Primary eosinophilia is considered clonal in the presence of either a cytogenetic abnormality or...

The idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome(HES) represents a heterogenous group of disorder characterized by prolonged eosinophilia of undetectable cause and multiorgan system dysfunction. Bone marrow is the most frequentry involved organ, but the most severe clinicopathologic involvement is heart. The major cause of death in patients with the HES is cardiac dysfunction especially congestive heart failure resulted from endocardial fibrosis and restrictive cardiomyopathy. We...

The diagnostic criteria includes a peripheral blood eosinophilia of 1,500 eosinophils/cu mm for 6 Months or longer, signs and symtoms of organ involvement, and a lack of evidence for parasitic, allergic, or other known causes of eosinophilia.

We experienced a case of Hypereosinophilic syndrome with congestive heart failure in 15 month old girl. The clinical, hematologic and E.C.G. findings were compatible with hype- reosinophilic syndrome. She was treated with oxygen, digoxine, antibiotics and mebendazole. But on 8th day of admission she suddenly died. A brief review of the related literature was made on this subject.

Marked eosinophilia is a common finding in many disease, occurring most frequently in allergic and parasitic conditions. A Separate syndrome characterized by peripheral eosinophilia and multisystem eosinophilic infiltration has been reported by many authors with a variety of diagnoses. In 1968, Hardy and Anderson proposed the term hypereosinophilic syndrome to encompass the entire group and in 1975, Chusid reported 14...
