[CIS PIDD] [cis-pidd] Eosinophilic cellulitis in XLA

[Santhosh Kumar/FS/VCU]

I saw an interesting consult today and was wondering if anyone had any 
thoughts on the case. 

62 y/o Male with a diagnosis on Agammaglobulinemia on IVIG replacement. 
His trough levels have been pretty good >750mg/dl. He has had no 
infections for almost 20 years of his life but recently after an 
unsuccessful cholecystectomy (Jan 2013) developed abdominal wall erythema 
and induration. He has no complaints related to the erythema on his 
abdomen. He has a hx of Hep-c, cirrhosis of the liver, hepato-renal 
syndrome on dialysis (started 4wks ago). He was admitted once in the past 
for IV antibiotics as it was thought that this was abdominal cellulitis 
which did not improve the erythema. He is back again with slight worsening 
of the erythema and is currently being treated with Daptomycin. He has 
been on it for 2-3days with no significant improvement in his erythema. 

His physical exam demonstrates no tenderness, large erythema over the 
anterior abdominal wall, b/l pitting pedal edema, ascites but otherwise 
normal. His eosinophil counts was normal in January but have recently 
increased to 2500. His most recent CBC shows -

Blood culture so far negative and the patient looks great. Can anyone 
comment if this could be eosinophilic cellulitis.
