Two cases of eosinophilic vasculitis with thrombosis.
Vasculitides are characterized by vessel wall inflammation of unknown etiology. We report two cases of eosinophilic vasculitis and hypereosinophilia with thrombosis. They have been treated with a high-dose glucocorticoid and anticoagulation. These cases emphasize that thrombosis should be anticipated in patients with eosinophilic vasculitis.
