[Idiopathic hypereosinophilia syndrome: description of a clinical case and review of the literature]

Abstract

Idiopathic hypereosinophilia is a disease with an unknown etiology and pathogenesis and uncertain nosographic classification, although there is now tendency to group a number of syndromes under this name which were previously classified separately, although having similar hematological symptoms and clinical manifestations. The paper examines these aspects and reports the case of a patient with idiopathic hypereosinophilia to steroid treatment.
