A 70-year-old female has a history of adult-onset asthma managed with a moderate-dose budesonide/formoterol inhaler. In 2019, she presented with skin rash and neuropathy (numbness). Complete blood counts showed elevated absolute eosinophil, peaking at 6,000 cells/μL. In conjunction with skin biopsy and nerve conduction studies, the diagnosis of hypereosinophilic syn¬drome (HES) was made.
