A Separate syndrome characterized by peripheral eosinophilia and multisystem eosinophilic infiltration has been reported by many authors with a variety of diagnoses. In 1968, Hardy and Anderson proposed the term hypereosinophilic syndrome to encompass the entire group and in 1975, Chusid reported 14 cases amd reviewed 57 cases in English literatures. We experienced a case of Hypereosinophilic syndrome which showed partial response to prenisolone therapy, and made a review of literatures.
