Its evaluation requires comprehensive history and physical as well as laboratory studies to identify the underlying cause and assess for evidence of end-organ damage in concern for hypereosinophilia syndrome.

Extensive infectious work-up of peripheral blood, lower respiratory tract and cerebrospinal fluid was negative. Review of recent medical record did not identify any potentially causative drugs.
