Hypereosinophilic Syndrome

What is hypereosinophilic syndrome?

Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a group of conditions that causes you to have too many eosinophils. An eosinophil is a type of white blood cell. Allergies, asthma, parasitic infections, and certain medicines may increase the number of eosinophils. Organs such as your skin, lungs, heart, or brain may be damaged if you have too many eosinophils. They may also harm your kidneys, intestines, liver, or spleen.

What are the signs and symptoms of HES?

  • Fever, fatigue, or weight loss
  • Redness, swelling, itching, or flaking skin
  • Weakness or numbness in parts of your body
  • Abdominal pain, vomiting, or diarrhea
  • Chest pain
  • Cough or trouble breathing
  • Confusion or memory loss

How is HES diagnosed?

Your healthcare provider will ask if you have any health conditions, take medicines, or ever took illegal drugs. You may need tests to find the cause of your HES and to check your heart and lungs. You may also need the following tests:

  • Blood tests will be done to measure the number eosinophils and other white blood cells.
  • A bone marrow biopsy is a procedure to remove a sample of bone marrow to be tested.
    Bone Marrow Aspiration

How is HES treated?

  • Medicines are used to decrease inflammation and swelling. You may also get medicine to decrease the number of eosinophils in your blood.
  • A bone marrow transplant is a procedure to replace your diseased bone marrow with healthy marrow. Bone marrow usually comes from a donor. The bone marrow is given to you in an IV while you are in the hospital.
