“…Los pacientes que son afectados por una NEC suelen tener antecedentes de asma en 50% de los casos, aunque también se ha asociado a rinitis alérgica y pólipos nasales 3,4 . En el caso de nuestro paciente, estos antecedentes no estaban presentes.…”

“…Si bien no constituye valor diagnóstico, permite monitorizar la respuesta terapéutica, ya que los eosinófilos séricos tienden a normalizarse con el tratamiento 10 . Cuando no existe eosinofilia periférica es obligación documentar eosinofilia pulmonar mediante LBA o biopsia pulmonar 3,11,12 . El LBA y la demostración de eosinofilia en el aspirado del lavado son una prueba de alto valor diagnóstico, de baja morbimortalidad y que ha disminuido la necesidad de biopsia 10 .…”

“…La ausencia de respuesta clínica a esteroides debe hacer replantear el diagnóstico. Por su parte, la respuesta radiológica completa se logra en las primeras dos semanas en 50% de los pacientes 3 . Las dosis iniciales eficaces están comprendidas entre 0,5-1 mg/kg de prednisona al día, pudiendo disminuirse las primeras semanas, hasta lograr una dosis de mantenimiento que fluctúa entre 5-20 mg/día 4 .…”

“…Si la enfermedad recidiva al suspender o disminuir la dosis de corticoides, se recomienda mantener el tratamiento por al menos un año adicional antes de intentar suspender nuevamente el tratamiento. Existen series de casos que han utilizado corticoides inhalados como coadyuvantes para disminuir las dosis de corticoides sistémicos, pero su utilidad aún no está del todo dilucidada 3,4,20 . Nuestro paciente presentó una mejoría clínica y radiológica favorable al tratamiento con corticoides, dentro del seguimiento presentó dos nuevos eventos de las similares características, lo que es concordante con el diagnóstico de NEC.…”

We report the rare case of HES involving oral cavity associated with esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract, which we succeeded in diagnosing precisely through a biopsy specimen obtained from the lip. A 64-year-old man had dysphagia, swelling of the oral mucosa and the posterior cervical muscles, accompanied by an abdominal pain and diarrhea. Peripheral blood cell count showed marked eosinophilia. Case ReportA 64-year-old man had a 9-day history of dysphagia and swelling of the oral mucosa and posterior cervical muscles. Also he had abdominal pain and diarrhea for 4 days.He had bronchial asthma for the previous 1 year, which was controlled with regular inhalations of budesonide and oral theophyline and occasional inhalations of salbutamol. There were no recent infections or relevant travel history.At admission, he was unwell with a low-grade fever up to 37.1°C, swelling of oral mucosa (Fig. 1), and frequent bowel movement. Because of dysphagia and severe swelling of the oral mucosa, he could not eat any food.Laboratory examinations revealed an excess of white blood cells, 17,800/mm , with marked eosinophilia, and 52.7% eosinophils. Serum IgE concentrations were also elevated at 1,785 IU/ml (normal <310 IU/ml). Radioallergosorbent tests for multiple allergens were negative.Other normal laboratory values included antinuclear antibody, anti-DNA antibody, and complement titer.
