Unusual diagnosis in a Lebanese child with persistent hyper eosinophilia: a case report
Identifying the etiology of persistent hypereosinophilia can be challenging in the pediatric population and can have diverse presentations. The primary focus during initial HE assessment is on evaluating the severity of symptoms and potential organ damage. Major life-threatening diagnoses as malignancies and immune deficiencies must be ruled out first when the AEC is persistently elevated. Parasitic infections should be investigated according to the geographic endemicity.
