A Case of Eosinophilia Associated Massive Deep Vein Thrombosis Treated with Local Urokinase Infusion

ABSTRACT

Venous thrombosis is uncommon in young individuals. Hypereosinophilia is a rare cause of thrombosis that usually involves the heart and small vessels like retinal vessels. We report a case of massive deep vein thrombosis that developed in a young patient with hypereosinophilia who was successfully treated with continuous local infusion of urokinase.
