Abstract

Hyper eosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a leukoproliferative disorder with persistently elevated eosinophils (>1500/µL) for more than six months. Most commonly affect skin, lungs, intestine, heart, kidneys, eyes, and peripheral nervous system. Dermatological manifestation is one of the significant clinical sign indicating the disease activity in HES and may be the only manifestation of hypereosinophilic syndrome.Therefore, early identification of the cutaneous lesions may help the clinicians to approach a definitive diagnosis and treatment.
