NAACP

•Neoplasm
•Allergic reaction
•Addison’s disease (glucocorticoids suppress eosinophils or cause margination???)
•CVD
•Parasites

 

 

Histologic ddx:

 

hmtoggle_plus1Interstitial eosinophils (~ dermal hypersensitivity):
◆refers to the presence of eosinophils between the collagen bundles away from vessels (though perivascular eosinophils are also present)
•urticarial stages of BP, herpes gesationis
•arthropod bites/ parasites
•drug reactions
•PUPPPS
•urticaria
•Well’s syndrome
•hypereosinophilic syndrome

◆(i.e. the eosinophils are in the epidermis)
◆mnemonic = HAAPPI
•herpes gestationis (urticarial lesions)
