Conclusions
- Diseases
characterized by eosinophilia are heterogeneous and eosinophils may accumulate in the peripheral blood, tissues or both
- several targets are currently being investigated
with variable promises
- why a specific targeyted therapy works in some but
not in all patients with eosinophilia remains unclear
- biomarkers, if any, that accurately predict
