Relapsing eosinophilic perimyositis, a rare condition, involves muscle inflammation with eosinophils. This case study highlights its benign course with glucocorticosteroid treatment and suggests eosinophilic cationic protein as a disease activity marker.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Neurology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Relapsing eosinophilic perimyositis is an exceptionally rare condition, with only 11 cases previously documented in medical literature.
  • Hypereosinophilic syndromes encompass a group of disorders characterized by persistent eosinophilia and potential organ damage.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with recurrent myopathy, peripheral blood eosinophilia, and skin symptoms.
  • Histopathology confirmed eosinophilic perimysial inflammation, characteristic of the condition.

Findings:

  • The patient's condition improved with moderate-dose glucocorticosteroid therapy, indicating a favorable prognosis.
  • Serum eosinophilic cationic protein levels correlated with disease activity, suggesting its utility in treatment monitoring.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of eosinophilic perimyositis, positioning it within the broader spectrum of eosinophilic myositis.
  • Identifying reliable biomarkers like eosinophilic cationic protein can aid in managing this rare inflammatory myopathy.
