Das hypereosinophile Syndrom

Abstract

The hypereosinophilic syndrome is of a systemic nature. There are connections with collagenoses as well as with leukaemias. In a 25-year-old patient the disease was characterised by involvement of lungs, skin, muscle and the peripheral nervous system. An immune complex glomerulonephritis demonstrated by biopsy showed the definite immunological origin of the disease.
