Pediatric hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) differs from adult HES.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) developed in a 15-year-old boy who presented with colitis, cough, rash, and hepatitis. Molecular analysis failed to demonstrate the Fip1-like1-Platelet Derived Growth Factor Receptor alpha chain (FIP1L1-PDGFRA) mutation described in adult patients with HES. There are significant clinical differences between the pediatric and adult presentations of HES.

متن کاملGastrointestinal and Hepatic Involvement in Hypereosinophilic Syndrome
The objective of this investigation was to study the gastrointestinal and hepatic involvement in hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). Gastrointestinal or hepatic involvement is estimated to affect up to one-third of patients with HES, although most of the clinical evidence has been derived from case reports. In literature, HES presenting with hepatitis and jaundice with subsequent development of c...
متن کاملThe hypereosinophilic syndrome revisited.
Clinical and biological features of patients with the idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) are heterogeneous. Recent evidence suggests at least two distinct underlying hematological disorders involving myeloid and lymphoid cells, respectively. We therefore suggest that the term idiopathic should be abandoned in the classification of HES. This review defines the "myeloproliferative" and "...
متن کاملClinical and Biological Markers in Hypereosinophilic Syndromes
Hypereosinophilic syndromes (HES) are rare, heterogeneous syndromes characterized by markedly elevated eosinophil counts in the blood and/or tissue and evidence of eosinophil-associated pathology. Although parasitic infections, drug hypersensitivity, and other disorders of defined etiology can present as HES (associated HES), treatment is directed at the underlying cause rather than the eosinop...
متن کاملIdiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome with skull base involvement.
Idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by prolonged eosinophilia without an identifiable cause, ultimately resulting in organ dysfunction. Three major types of neurologic involvement have been well defined in HES; however, to our knowledge, inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) in association with HES has not been reported. We present a case of IPT of the...
