Abstract
If hypereosinophilia has varied clinical and morphological outcome, its clinical consequences, particularly on heart function, are sometimes dreadful, and are not correlated either with blood eosinophil levels or with a specific etiology. We report here a case of HES lacking the FIP1-L1-PDGFRA fusion gene showing that despite the absence of this molecular defect, imatinib mesylate may have therapeutic interest in those cases of HES resistant to first line therapies.
