Abstract
Hypereosinophilic syndrome is a spectrum of disorders characterized by marked eosinophilic leukocytosis without identifiable cause or organ dysfunction. We report 37 years old man applied with nonproductive cough and itchy skin eruptions for one year. At the physical examination there were nodular erythematous lesions on his upper extremity. We didn’t find any reason which can explain the eosinophily like allergic disease, mycotic infections, parasitic infections, malignancy and collagen tissue diseases with his anamnesis, clinical findings and laboratory tests. He was diagnosed as hypereosinopyhilic syndrome, and treated with hydroxiure. After treatment his skin lesions, leukocytosis and eosinophily were regressed. (Asthma Allergy Immunol 2011;9:51-54)
Özet
Otuz yedi yaşında erkek hasta, kliniğimize bir yıldır devam eden kuru öksürük ve kaşıntılı döküntü şikayetleriyle başvurdu. Hastada üst ekstremitede olan eritematöz nodüler lezyonlar vardı. Yapılan laboratuvar incelemesinde lökositoz ve eozinofili saptandı. Anamnez, klinik bulgular ve laboratuvar testleri sonucunda; allerji, mikotik infeksiyonlar, parazit infestasyonları, malignite, kollajen doku hastalıkları gibi eozinofiliyi açıklayan bir sebep bulunamadı. Hastaya idiyopatik hipereozinofilik sendrom tanısı konularak hidroksiüre tedavisi verildi. Hastanın deri bulguları tamamen düzeldi, lökositozu ve eozinofilisi geriledi.
