Abstract

Hypereosinophilic syndrome is a blood disorder characterized by the overproduction of eosinophils in the bone marrow with persistent peripheral eosinophilia, associated with organ damage by the release of eosinophil mediators. As a rare disease, the cause can be caused by allergic, infectious, cancerous and idiopathic diseases. We present a 53-year-old male patient with an absolute eosinophil count of 8910 cells/µL, admitted to the hospital because of abdominal pain, dyspnea, and multi-membrane effusion. Hypereosinophilic syndrome was diagnosed after excluding other causes of eosinophilia. The patient responded completely to corticosteroid therapy.
