Eosinophilic fasciitis is characterized by peripheral eosinophilia, diffuse induration of the skin (particularly of the extremities), thickened fascia, and responsiveness to corticosteroids. Since it was first described in 1974, 36 cases have been reported. We have presented three new cases diagnosed in our community hospital during the last 27 months, with reports on their follow-up while being treated with corticosteroids. We believe the disorder to be more common than reports indicate.
嗜酸性筋膜炎的特征为外周血嗜酸性粒细胞增多、皮肤（尤其是四肢）弥漫性硬结、筋膜增厚以及对皮质类固醇有反应。自1974年首次描述以来，已报告了36例病例。我们呈现了过去27个月内在我们社区医院诊断出的3例新病例，并报告了他们在接受皮质类固醇治疗期间的随访情况。我们认为该疾病比报告显示的更为常见。
