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

[Prescott Atkinson, M.D.]

Any recent steroid/other immunosuppressive therapy?  We had an XLA patient about 20 yrs ago who developed Strongyloides hyperinfection when he was treated with steroids - he was being managed by pulmonary at the time and was thought to have variant CF....

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.
