“…It is very difficult to determine whether HES is MPD or overproduction of eosinophilopoietic cytokines produced by the T-cell clone (Weller & Bubley, 1994). Some reports state that characteristics of HES/MPD are elevated B12 level, abnormal leucocyte alkaline phosphatase score, splenomegaly, cytogenetic abnormalities, myelofibrosis anaemia, myeloid dysplasia and basophilia (Fauci et al, 1982;Schooley et al, 1981). Our patient had the following clinical features: eosinophils with morphological abnormalities, appearance of immature myeloid cells and increase of basophils in PB, existence of myelofibrosis, no effect of methylprednisolone for eosinophilia, and eosinophilic infiltrations to skin and heart.…”
