A case of hypereosinophilia with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma

A 58-year-old woman was evaluated for persistent eosinophilia. She had joint pain with effusions for 14 years and was treated for presumptive seronegative rheumatoid arthritis with prednisone and multiple disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs with minimal improvement (Fig 1). For 2.5 years before evaluation, she had a persistent pruritic rash, chronic cough, and a 20-lb weight loss. She had no atopic history and was not taking any herbal supplements. She had traveled to Mexico and the US Virgin Islands within the past 2 years.
