Abstract:
A 22-year-old man developed papules on his legs in November of 2001, which then spread to cover almost his entire body. He was treated with a topical steroid and PUVA therapy at another hospital. The symptoms showed no improvement, and, in February of 2002, he came to our hospital. Examination revealed hypereosinophilia, and, because he had symptoms of organ involvement by the heart, lung, and inguinal lymph nodes as well as the skin, we diagnosed him with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). The patient was treated with oral prednisolone at a dose of 60 mg/day, and his cutaneous lesions and other organ symptoms improved.
