Abstract

We describe a patient with hypereosinophilic syndrome, who had severe cutaneous eruptions. Immunohistochemical study revealed that dermal endothelial cells in the lesional skin of this patient expressed eotaxin, which indicates eotaxin plays a part in inducing eosinophil migration into cutaneous tissue in hypereosinophilic syndrome.
