    Abstract:
    A 21-year-old man was admitted in March 1987 with low grade fever and chest pain. Eosinophilia had been pointed out and PIE syndrome was diagnosed in another hospital a month before admission. Steroid therapy had been started. On the first admission, the chest roentgenogram showed bilateral pleural effusion and a nodular shadow in the left lower lung field. Open lung biopsy was performed and a diagnosis of pulmonary infarction was made. Eosinophilia, low grade fever and chest pain were improved by steroid therapy. He was discharged in April 1987. He was readmitted in September 1987 because of fever, back pain and abdominal distension. On the second admission, eosinophilia (4,510/mm3) was pointed out. The case was diagnosed as hepatic vein obstruction by hepatic vein angiography, liver biopsy and ultrasonic examination. He had transient remission on corticosteroid and anti-coagulant therapy. This case was considered as a rare case of hypereosinophilic syndrome associated with pulmonary infarction and Budd-Chiari syndrome.
