Idiopathic hyperosinophilic syndrome is characterized by a prolonged eosinophilia of unknown causes and multiple organ system involvement. We recently experienced a case of idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome, which involving bone marrow, lymph

and lung without and definite cause in a 6 years old female. Her chief complaints were palpable mass on right axilla and edematous swelling on right phalanges. On admission, the peripheral blood eosinophil count was 24. 400/㎣, and there massive
infiltration of eosinophils on bone marrow and lymph node biopsy. Chest X-ray showed pleural effusion and thickening, and echocardiogram demonstrated pulmonary regurgitation. After the patient received corticosteroid therapy, the eosinophil count
