Proposed refined diagnostic criteria and classification of eosinophil disorders and related syndromes

Peter Valent et al.

Summary: Eosinophilia and eosinophil activation are common in various diseases. They can lead to hypereosinophilia and hypereosinophilic syndrome, which can cause organ damage. The classification and criteria for these conditions have been widely accepted and regarded as standard since 2012. However, new developments in the field have created a need to update these criteria. A recent working conference on eosinophil disorders discussed new markers and concepts, aiming to improve the diagnosis and management of patients with hypereosinophilia and hypereosinophilic syndrome.
