What is hypereosinophilic syndrome?
Hypereosinophilic syndrome is a condition in which eosinophils, a type of white blood cell in your body, is chronically high. Over time, these white blood cells enter your body tissues causing inflammation and damage. The skin, lung, heart, blood and nervous system are the most at risk.
