Eosinophils are involved in the initiation and propagation of diverse inflammatory responses, including antigen presentation and the release of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, lipid mediators and cytotoxic granules (1-4) (Fig. 1). Tissue damage and dysfunction resulting from secretion of these pleiotropic mediators is a common pathogenic component in several diseases, including atopic as...
متن کاملUncommon presentation of hypereosinophilic syndrome.
The hypereosinophilic syndrome is a group of diseases characterised by persistent blood eosinophilia, defined as more than 1500 cells per micro liter [1], with end-organ involvement and no recognised secondary causes such as skin diseases, parasitic infection or allergy (Table). The sustained overproduction of eosinophils causes eosinophilic infiltration and release of mediators causing damage ...
