Abstract
A 45-year-old woman with episodic angioedema and eosinophilia is prese nted. CD69, which is one of the surface antigens of activated eosinoph ils, was not expressed on the peripheral eosinophils in this patient, in contrast to hypereosinophilic syndrome, This suggests that CD69, wh ich is not dependent on eosinophil density, may be another useful acti vation marker of eosinophils to distinguish episodic angioedema and eo sinophilia from hypereosinophilic syndrome.
