  • Title: Eosinophilic fasciitis successfully treated with cyclosporine.
    Author: Bukiej A, Dropiński J, Dyduch G, Szczeklik A.
    Journal: Clin Rheumatol; 2005 Nov; 24(6):634-6. PubMed ID: 15864687.
    Abstract:
    We report on a 45-year-old female who developed eosinophilic fasciitis, characterized by scleroderma-like skin indurations, predominantly on the extremities and chest, with joint contractures and intermittent blood eosinophilia. Histologic examination revealed fibrosis of muscle fascia and eosinophilic infiltration. High-dose systemic corticosteroid therapy was ineffective, but cyclosporine treatment led to remission.
