Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome with eosinophilia mimicking hypereosinophilic syndromes with disseminated intravascular coagulation: a case report
Our case shows that eosinophilia can accompany catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome, and this can mimic eosinophil-associated disorders with disseminated intravascular coagulation. Identifying antiphospholipid antibodies is important for differential diagnosis when treating unexplained eosinophilia, thrombocytopenia, and thrombosis.
