Reactive eosinophilia and thrombosis.
A 76-year-old female with chronic renal disease and dementia was admitted for acute chest pain. Physical examination showed no skin rash or wheezing. A CT scan for pulmonary embolism was positive and anticoagulation was started. Her blood tests showed white blood cells of 21.9 109/L, hemoglobin 10.2 g/dL, and platelets 308 109/L. The peripheral blood smear showed marked eosinophilia at 60% (see...
متن کاملPleural mesothelioma and venous thrombosis: the eosinophilia link
Peripheral blood eosinophilia and vascular occlusions are rare occurrences in patients with pleural mesothelioma whereas eosinophilia may associate with thrombosis. We describe a patient with mesothelioma who developed peripheral blood eosinophilia followed by deep vein thrombosis despite being on low molecular weight heparin prophylaxis. We discuss the genesis of peripheral blood eosinophilia ...
متن کاملCerebral sinovenous thrombosis in a patient with transient eosinophilia.
A 67-year-old man with a history of prostatic hypertrophy developed behavioral anomalies and a fever. At admission, diffusion-weighted brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) indicated a high-intensity signal lesion on both sides of the cerebral hemisphere. Immediately after hospitalization, he developed paralysis of the left side of the body. Diffusion-weighted MRI indicated hemorrhagic changes...
متن کاملReactive oxygen metabolites and arterial thrombosis.
Arterial thrombus formation is the result of complex events which require the interaction of damaged vessel walls with blood cellular elements and coagulation factors, and in which several mediators may play a role. In this context, the role of 'classical' chemical mediators such as thrombin, thromboxane or serotonin in initiating and/or amplifying intravascular thrombus formation is well estab...
متن کاملRole of thromboxane receptor in C-reactive protein-induced thrombosis.
OBJECTIVE Thromboxane A(2) and prostacyclin are thromboregulatory prostaglandins. The inflammatory C-reactive protein (CRP) promotes thrombosis after vascular injury, presumably via potentiation of thromboxane activity. Using a genetic approach, we investigated the role of thromboxane receptor (TP) pathway in CRP-induced thrombosis. METHODS AND RESULTS Four genetically engineered mice strains...
