Abstract
- Idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome is characterized by multiorgan involvement without any cause, and peripheral eosinophilia(1,500/microliter) for more than 6 months. Clinically, many organs can be involved, but the heart is the most commonly involved organ. Although lung involvement is usual(20-30%)1) in hypereosinophilic syndrome, there are few reports of eosinophilic pneumonia proven by biopsy confirmation in Korea. We experienced a case of hypereosinophilic syndrome with eosinophilic pneumonia and bronchitis confirmed by biopsy, and we report it here with a review of the literature.
