[Fasciitis with eosinophilia: a possible causal role of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor].
Among neuroeosinophilic syndromes, neuromuscular disorders are considered as a special group, including perimyosistis, polymyositis and fasciitis. These three disorders are considered as a continuum. They usually without a recognized cause, and are considered to be spontaneous or exercise-induced. We report the case of a 43 year-old woman who experienced angioedema followed by an histologically proven-fasciitis with eosinophilia after Ramipril (Triatec) use. Causal attribution to Ramipril was considered "plausible". To our knowledge this side effect has never been reported with this drug.
