  • Title: Sudden death in a pediatric heart transplant recipient with peripheral eosinophilia and eosinophilic myocardial infiltrates.
    Author: McEachern W, Godown J, Dodd DA, Dipchand AI, Conway JL, Wilson GJ, Hoffman RD.
    Journal: Pediatr Transplant; 2017 Aug; 21(5):. PubMed ID: 28504342.
    Abstract:
    Eosinophilia has been rarely reported in pediatric heart transplant recipients and has been suggested to play a role in graft rejection. We report a case of a young female patient with peripheral blood eosinophilia who died suddenly 2 years following ABO-incompatible heart transplantation. She was found at autopsy to have myocardial infiltration of not only T-lymphocytes and macrophages expected in acute cellular rejection but also of eosinophils, B-lymphocytes, and plasma cells indicating myocarditis.
