title: Two cases of eosinophilic vasculitis with thrombosis.
abstract: 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.
