Hypereosinophilic syndrome secondary to strongyloides infection: a case of recurrent asthma exacerbations.

Hypereosinophilic syndrome secondary to strongyloides infection: a case of recurrent asthma exacerbations.

BMJ Case Rep. 2013;2013

Authors: Khan WA, Santhanakrishnan K

Abstract
Hypereosinophilic syndrome is a disease characterised by a persistently elevated eosinophil count. The syndrome can be reactive to infections, autoimmune disease, cancers, etc. Multiple organ involvement can occur including cardiomyopathies, pulmonary involvement and neuropathies. We describe a case of a patient who presented with signs and symptoms of asthma with recurrent asthma exacerbations, but in fact proved to be hypereosinophilic syndrome secondary to strongyloides infection.

A case of type?I?variant Kounis syndrome with Samter-Beer triad.

World J Cardiol. 2013 Apr 26;5(4):112-114

Authors: Prajapati JS, Virpariya KM, Thakkar AS, Abhyankar AD

Abstract
Kounis syndrome is defined as the coexistence of acute coronary syndromes with situations associated with allergy or hypersensitivity, as well as anaphylactic or anaphylactoid reactions, to a variety of medical conditions, environmental and medication exposures. We report a case of Kounis-Zavras syndrome type?I?variant in the setting of aspirin-induced asthma, or the Samter-Beer triad of asthma, nasal polyps and aspirin allergy. When there is a young individual with no predisposing factors of atherosclerosis and apparent coronary lesion, with or without electrocardiography and biochemical markers of infarction, the possibility of Kounis syndrome should be kept in mind.
