title: [Familial eosinophilic fascitis induced by toxic oil].
abstract: Three of four family members in husband, wife and one of two daughters developed in a short time interval (eleven months) eosinophilic fasciitis. The clinical, analytical and histopathological changes were characteristic of this disease. Familial cases of eosinophilic fasciitis have not been previously published. The process of these patients was probably caused by the ingestion of denatured oil (toxic oil syndrome), although the clinical picture begun two and a half years after the epidemic phase of the toxic oil syndrome declined.
