“…Etiologies include parasitic infection, vasculitides (in particular, Churg–Strauss syndrome),4 nonhematological and hematological malignant diseases,3 idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome,3, 6 toxic oil syndrome,1 and L ‐tryptophan–induced eosinophilia–myalgia syndrome 7. Besides these recognized entities, a few others exist, of unknown etiology, including the well‐described eosinophilic fasciitis or Shulman syndrome,2, 12–14 in which inflammation primarily affects the deep fascia with skin induration and mild muscle involvement, and eosinophilic myositis and eosinophilic polymyositis,8, 12 in which deep eosinophilic infiltration of muscle is associated with muscle necrosis and increased serum creatine kinase (CK) levels. There is still another rare syndrome, wherein inflammatory cells are seen predominantly in the perimysium without significant endomysial infiltration or myonecrosis, and serum CK levels are usually normal 11, 12, 16.…”
