Answer |
One needs to evaluate the cause of the eosinohilia. Infestations such as toxocara, allergic phenomenon and even Hyper IgE should be ruled out before one labels as Idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome. Read the case report on the same on www.pediatriconcall.com or from the link given below:
