Abstract:
The idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome is a disorder marked by the sustained overproduction of eosinophils. The disease is characterized clinically by damage to multiple organs due to eosinophilic infiltration and mediator release rather than by the level of the absolute blood eosinophil count. We report a case of hypereosinophilic syndrome presenting multiple organ damages with eyeball involvement.
