He had had a history of asthma and arthalgia before this admission. Physical examination revealed distal asymmetrical polyneuropathy. Electrodiagnostic study was consistent with polyneuropathy. Skin biopsy revealed vasculitis with prominent eosinophilic infiltration. His motor power was markedly improved by prednisolone treatment.
