Dermatologic manifestations of the hypereosinophilic syndrome

J A Kazmierowski et al. Arch Dermatol. 1978 Apr.

Abstract

We report the histopathologic and dermatologic manifestations of eight patients with hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). Skin lesions occurred in eight patients (53%) in a group of 15 patients with HES, and were generally of two types: (1) erythematous pruritic papules and nodules, or (2) urticaria and angioedema. As HES was treated with appropriate therapy, the skin lesions improved. Skin eruption may be the only manifestation of disease in otherwise asymptomatic patients with HES.
