Published: October 1989

The case of a patient with thoracic abdominal and left arm, migratory erythema-edematous plates over a space of three years is described. The histopathologic features reveal a eosinophilic panniculitis due to probable larva migrans (gnathostomiasis). This appears to be the first report on the subject because we have not found any reference to the subject in Argentina bibliographic search.

Article Synopsis
  • - Eosinophilic fasciitis (EF), also known as Shulman syndrome, is a rare disorder that causes painful swelling and thickening of skin and soft tissues, and can also affect internal organs like the pleura and kidneys.
  • - A case report details a 39-year-old patient with unique multifocal skin involvement, discussing symptoms, tissue analysis, possible conditions to consider, treatment options, and the outcomes for the patient.
  • - Early diagnosis of EF is essential for effective treatment and improved outcomes, especially when atypical skin lesions are present.

Article Synopsis
  • * His blood tests showed normal eosinophil levels despite slight increases in neutrophils and basophils; initial treatment with moxifloxacin helped, but symptoms relapsed after treatment with praziquantel.
  • * Doubling the praziquantel dosage after four months ultimately cured the disease, with the CT's migratory lesions and tunnel signs helping to confirm the parasitic infection diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
  • Eosinophils, when activated by the alarmin IL-33, produce extracellular vesicles (EV) that show potential anti-tumor effects, contrasting with those activated by IL-5.
  • Incorporating these IL-33-activated eosinophil-derived EV (Eo33-EV) into tumor cells leads to increased expression of genes that promote cell cycle arrest and reduces tumor growth and metastasis.
  • RNA sequencing highlights that Eo33-EV are enriched with tumor suppressor genes and pathways that enhance an epithelial phenotype, indicating their potential role in cancer therapy through cell reprogramming.
