Eosinophilia is a common finding in clinical practice and is seen in various conditions including allergic diseases, parasitic infections and some cancers. Some drugs may cause eosinophilia (cephalosporins, analgesics e.g.). Fludarabine is a purine analog and is used in the therapy of chronic lymphoproliferative disorders. Here we reported a case with chronic lymphocytic leukemia treated by fludarabine and hypereosinophilia occurrence after this therapy and reviewed the literature information.
