ABSTRACT
Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is defined as a peripheral eosinophil count of >â¯1500/µl (assessed twice at an interval of ≥â¯2 weeks) and an eosinophil-induced organ damage. Idiopathic HES is differentiated from primary (clonal or neoplastic) HES and secondary (reactive) HES, depending on the etiology. Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is categorized as a secondary form of HES and is characterized by hypereosinophilia and vasculitis of small to medium-sized vessels and can be associated with an antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA). The treatment of HES is dependent on the etiology. Clonal HES is treated according to the respective genetic aberration, e.g. with tyrosine kinase inhibitors or chemotherapy and allogenic stem cell transplantation. Secondary forms should be treated according to the underlying cause (e.g. parasitic infection). The treatment of EGPA is carried out with immunosuppressants depending on the disease stage and disease activity. Conventional drugs, such as glucocorticoids (GC), cyclophosphamide (CYC) and methotrexate (MTX) or biologics, such as the monoclonal anti-IL5 antibody mepolizumab are commonly used. Mepolizumab is also a good option for the treatment of idiopathic HES.
