Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 3-year-old child with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (IHES) presented with sore throat and pharyngeal exudate. Recurrent throat cultures were negative and microscopic section of the exudate revealed an extensive eosinophilic infiltration. Fourteen months later, the child still has marked hypereosinophilia and pharyngeal involvement without other organ involvement. Eosinophilic pharyngitis may be a target organ in IHES. The benign clinical course and the laboratory characteristics are described. |
