As many as 28,780/mm3 eosinophils in peripheral blood, the eosinophilic hyperplasia in bone marrow and features of hepatic involvement -revealed elevated serum AST, ALT and ultrasonogram of abdomen showed the multiple nodules scattered throughout the liver, we have reached to make a diagnosis of the rare hyper eosinophilic syndrome carrying the eosinophil-rich exudate in pleural effusion.
