Indian Pediatrics. 2009 June; 46(6): 525-527.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/144063We report a case of chronic eosinophilic leukemia in a 9 year old girl who presented with anemia, thrombocytopenia, leucocytosis (mostly dysplastic eosinophils), lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly. There was no increase in blasts but myelofibrosis was seen in the bone marrow. A previously unreported translocation 46,XX,t(1;4)(q24;q35), was found on cytogenetic analysis and involvement of the myocardium was also present. Shortly after commencing steroids, the family abandoned therapy.enCardiomyopathyChronic eosinophilic leukemiaHypereosinophiliat(1;4)(q24;q35)Cardiomyopathies --bloodCardiomyopathies --diagnosisCardiomyopathies --drug therapyCardiomyopathies --geneticsChildChronic DiseaseEchocardiographyEosinophilsFemaleGlucocorticoids --therapeutic useHumansHypereosinophilic Syndrome --bloodHypereosinophilic Syndrome --diagnosisHypereosinophilic Syndrome --drug therapyHypereosinophilic Syndrome --geneticsTranslocation, GeneticArticle
