The role of empirical albendazole treatment in idiopathic hypereosinophilia – a case series

Abstract

Hypereosinophilia can lead to life-threatening organ damage when associated with eosinophilic infiltration of tissues. Although it is associated with a broad variety of diseases, sometimes no other abnormalities are detected. The authors present a novel approach to the treatment of hypereosinophilia, especially when an underlying cause fails to be detected.
