Cutaneous lesions may be an important presenting sign, may be extremely debilitating, and often reflect disease activity in HES. Recognition of dermatologic manifestations is important in approaching diagnosis and treatment of HES. This article reviews cutaneous involvement in HES and other eosinophil-associated skin diseases.
