Eosinophilic fasciitis is a rare connective tissue disease characterized by increased levels of peripheral blood eosinophils and infiltration in the myofascia. The diagnosis of eosinophilic fasciitis is primarily based on clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, and pathological biopsy, with the exclusion of other possible causes of fasciitis and eosinophil increase. Herein, we report a case of postnatal eosinophilic fasciitis occurring in a woman in her 20s, who developed the condition in her right forearm. The patient, who was postpartum, showed considerable recovery after conservative treatment with the corticosteroid prednisone.
嗜酸性筋膜炎是一种罕见的结缔组织疾病,其特征为外周血嗜酸性粒细胞水平升高以及肌筋膜浸润。嗜酸性筋膜炎的诊断主要基于临床表现、实验室检查和病理活检,同时排除其他可能导致筋膜炎和嗜酸性粒细胞增多的原因。在此,我们报告一例发生在一名20多岁女性产后的右侧前臂嗜酸性筋膜炎病例。该产后患者经皮质类固醇泼尼松保守治疗后恢复良好。
