摘要
The diagnosis of hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) has been largely a process of exclusion and by definition therefore, unsatisfactory. Frustrated hematologists were comforted by the knowledge that a better understanding of the molecular pathogenesis would eventually resolve their difficulties. This better understanding is now beginning to emerge.
