Eosinophilic fasciitis (EF) is diagnosed by the presence of characteristic alterations in the skin, fascia, and peripheral blood. Direct extension of the fascial inflammation may lead to involvement of the tendons, synovium, and muscle. Visceral changes similar to those seen in localized and systemic scleroderma may occur in the esophagus, lung and heart. Autoimmune phenomena may account for the thyroid and hematologic diseases which may also develop in EF.
嗜酸性筋膜炎（EF）通过皮肤、筋膜和外周血中特征性改变来诊断。筋膜炎症的直接蔓延可能导致肌腱、滑膜和肌肉受累。食管、肺和心脏可能出现类似于局限性和系统性硬皮病所见的内脏改变。自身免疫现象可能是EF中也可能发生的甲状腺和血液系统疾病的原因。
