Anti-eosinophil therapy shown to be effective in treating hypereosinophilic syndrome

er the last dose of Anti-IL-5.

Anti-IL-5 therapy improved the quality of life in all four patients. One patient, who was unable to eat solid foods for several years due to the disease narrowing his esophagus, was able to begin swallowing solid foods after treatment with Anti-IL-5. The other patients reported improved respiratory symptoms and began assuming more normal lifestyles.

"While hypereosinophilic syndromes are relatively rare compared with typical allergic diseases, it is important that appropriate therapy be developed for these often debilitating diseases," Rothenberg said.
