Hypereosinophilic syndromes are rare in children. Sporadic, mild-severity FIP1L1-platelet-derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRα) rearrangement cases have been reported, mainly in boys. We present the case of a 5-year-old girl referred from her African country of birth, due to severe constitutional symptoms, multifocal bone pain, headache, gastrointestinal complaints, cardiomyopathy and unexplained hypereosinophilia. She presented multiple end-organ diseases and striking bone involvement. Although she had a positive serology for , extensive evaluation detected a FIP1L1-PDGFRA fusion gene. Systemic corticosteroids and low-dose imatinib were started and the child became asymptomatic. After 9 months of treatment, FIP1L1-PDGFRA was no longer detected.
嗜酸性粒细胞增多综合征在儿童中较为罕见。曾有散发的轻度至重度FIP1L1-血小板衍生生长因子受体α(PDGFRα)重排病例的报道,主要见于男孩。我们报告了一名5岁女孩的病例,她从出生的非洲国家转诊而来,有严重的全身症状、多灶性骨痛、头痛、胃肠道不适、心肌病和不明原因的嗜酸性粒细胞增多。她出现了多种终末器官疾病和明显的骨骼受累。尽管她的血清学检查呈阳性,但广泛评估发现了FIP1L1-PDGFRA融合基因。开始使用全身性皮质类固醇和低剂量伊马替尼治疗后,患儿症状消失。治疗9个月后,未再检测到FIP1L1-PDGFRA。
