چکیده
A case of eosinophilic fasciitis is presented. The clinical, biochemical and pathological findings were similar to those described in the literature. The history of violent exercise present in most patients was absent in our case. Immunofluorescent studies of the fascial and muscular biopsy showed deposits of C3 and fibrinogen in the vessel walls. The information of E rosettes by T lymphocytes was lowered and the intradermic reaction with PPD and PHA were negative suggesting a depletion of cell mediated immunity.
