Eosinophilia is a rare defining characteristic of certain rheumatic disorders, including eosinophilic fasciitis and toxin-induced syndromes. This review covers their epidemiology, features, pathogenesis, and management.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Immunology
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Eosinophilia can occur in various rheumatic disorders.
  • Few rheumatic conditions are defined by eosinophilia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Review epidemiology, clinical features, and pathogenesis of eosinophilia-defining rheumatic disorders.
  • Discuss rational management strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of rheumatic disorders with eosinophilia.
  • Analysis of epidemiology, clinical presentation, and pathogenesis.
  • Discussion of management approaches.

Main Results:

  • Eosinophilic fasciitis is a key example of a primary eosinophilic rheumatic disorder.

  • Toxin-induced syndromes, such as eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome and toxic oil syndrome, are characterized by eosinophilia.
  • These conditions share overlapping features but have distinct etiologies.

    • Conclusions:

    • Understanding the specific features and pathogenesis is crucial for diagnosis.
    • A rational, evidence-based approach to management is necessary for these rare disorders.
