However, several other diseases are often associated with thrombosis although their frequency is not easily estimated. Eosinophilia is one of these conditions. From a clinical viewpoint it is very difficult to understand which conditions might lead to a thrombotic event because the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are different. Here, we report a case of idiopathic hypereosinophilia associated to venous thromboembolism without any other associated prothrombotic condition.Keywords: venous thromboembolism, deep vein thrombosis, hypereosinophilia, allergy
