Preferred Label : eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome;
MeSH definition : A complex systemic syndrome with inflammatory and autoimmune components that affect
the skin, fascia, muscle, nerve, blood vessels, lung, and heart. Diagnostic features
generally include EOSINOPHILIA, myalgia severe enough to limit usual activities of
daily living, and the absence of coexisting infectious, autoimmune or other conditions
that may induce eosinophilia. Biopsy of affected tissue reveals a microangiopathy
associated with diffuse inflammation involving connective tissue. (From Spitzer et
al., J Rheumatol Suppl 1996 Oct;46:73-9; Blackburn WD, Semin Arthritis Rheum 1997
Jun;26(6):788-93);
