Abstract

Hypereosinophilia was detected in a 21-year-old male with leukocytosis, and most of the causes resulting in eosinophilia were evaluated. The case appearing healthy had no remarkable finding in his history and physical examination. The only remarkable laboratory finding was the detection of lodamoeba bütschlii cysts in stool samples. For eradication of the parasite, the patient was treated with antiparasitic drugs. After treatment, eosinophilia resolved completely and never recurred. We think that lodamoeba bütschlii is a probable cause of eosinophilia and the association should, be reported since this parasite has not been determined as a cause of eosinophilia yet.

Özet

Tesadüfen saptanan lökositozu nedeniyle incelenen ve hipereozinofili tespit edilen asemptomatik 21 yaşındaki bir olguda eozinofili yapan nedenler araştırıldı. Oldukça sağlıklı görünen, öyküsünde ve fizik muayenesinde kayda değer bulgusu olmayan olguda tek anlamlı laboratuvar bulgusu dışkı mikroskopisinde lodamoeba bütschlii kistleri saptanması idi. Bu parazitin eradikasyonu amacıyla verilen antiparaziter tedavi sonrası hastanın eozinofilisi tamamen düzeldi ve yapılan kontrollerde tekrarlamadığı gözlendi. Eozinofilinin muhtemel nedeni olarak düşündüğümüz lodamoeba bütschlii daha önce eozinofili nedeni olarak bildirilmemiş olduğundan yayınlamayı uygun bulduk.
