Idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome--unusual presentation.
A case of idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome who had an unusual presentation in the form of pericardial effusion is being presented here. The child initially responded to corticosteroids but could not maintain normal eosinophil counts on tapering of steroids. Therefore he was put on hydroxyurea and low dose of steroids with regular monitoring of absolute eosinophil counts.
