hypereosinophilic syndrome
any of several diseases characterized by a massive increase in the number of eosinophils in the blood and bone marrow, with eosinophilic infiltration of other organs. Symptoms vary, depending on the organ involved, and may include pruritic skin ulcers or erythroderma, endomyocarditis, lymph node or spleen enlargement, and ophthalmologic or gastrointestinal complications. Eosinophilic leukemia is a potentially fatal member of the group.
