Introduction. Myocarditis is a common diagnosis, but its etiology often remains unknown as it requires extensive diagnostic work. Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) or Churg-Strauss syndrome very rare systemic disease, which not easy to diagnose. in EGPA and usually occurs the late stages of disease. Case report. A 22-year-old man was admitted acute coronary (ACS). Coronary an...

Matsumoto Eosinophilia Shinshu (MES) is a rat strain that spontaneously develops eosinophilia and eosinophil-related inflammatory lesions in many organs. In a previous study, we performed chromosomal mapping of the gene for eosinophilia in MES rats using backcross progeny and found that the major locus for eosinophilia was located on chromosome 19. In addition, another quantitative trait locus ...

Background: Coronary artery diseases (CAD) is the most common cause of death in the developing counteries.  Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of CAD. A number of studies have shown that total leukocyte count is a risk factor for CAD but there is little information on the role of eosinophilia and allergy.  The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between eosinophilia and histor...

Eosinophilia is typically associated with allergic reactions, parasitic infestations, certain forms of vasculitis, the use of certain medications and hematologic malignancies. In addition to eosinophilia associated with gastrointestinal tumors, lung cancer and thyroid carcinoma in solid malignancies, there are a limited number of cases describing peripheral hypereosinophilia in urologic tumors....

Subcutaneous injection of 0.5 mg/kg of FK506, 1 h before and 5 h after intra-nasal...

We examined the effect of the immunosuppressive agent, tacrolimus (FK506), on antigen-induced bronchial hyperreactivity to acetylcholine and leukocyte infiltration into the airways of ovalbumin-challenged guinea-pigs. Subcutaneous injection of 0.5 mg/kg of FK506, 1 h before and 5 h after intra-nasal antigen challenge prevented bronchial hyperreactivity to aerosolized acetylcholine, eosinophilia...

The tetrad of bronchial asthma, severe sinusitis, nasal polyp, eosinophilia, and systemic vasculitis is the main feature of allergic granulomatosis and angitis (Churg- Strauss Syndrome). This vasculitis is usually seen idiopathic in patients with a long history of asthma; oral steroids using steroid inhalers, vaccination and desensitization might be triggering factors. Drugs such as leukotriene...

Results Total 152 patients were included and their average age (SD) were 66.83 years (6.52), 73% women, 78% Caucasian and 22% Hispanic. Arterial hypertension was the most frequent comorbidity (27%), followed by chronic rhino sinusitis (14%), RGE (10%), diabetes (5%) and obesity (5%). Other comorbidities were also searched, but they were only found in a few patients, such as eosinophilia esophag...

Sir, A 45-year-old man was admitted with history of painful, sequential multiple peripheral nerve involvement for four months. On questioning he revealed history of allergic rhinitis with recurrent nasal polyps, bronchial asthma for two years, weight loss, joint pains with swelling and Raynaud’s phenomenon of four months duration. Examination revealed skin rash and features of mononeuritis mult...

Peripheral blood eosinophilia and vascular occlusions are rare occurrences in patients with pleural mesothelioma whereas eosinophilia may associate with thrombosis. We describe a patient with mesothelioma who developed peripheral blood eosinophilia followed by deep vein thrombosis despite being on low molecular weight heparin prophylaxis. We discuss the genesis of peripheral blood eosinophilia ...
