PubMedID- 24404401 idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (ihes) is a group of disorders characterized by the overproduction of eosinophils resulting in inflammatory damage to multiple organs, including skin, heart, lung, gastrointestinal tract, and nervous system.1 signs and symptoms associated with lung involvement are relatively common, occurring in approximately 40% of ihes patients.2,3 however, despite frequent lung involvement, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ards) is rarely seen in conjunction with ihes, with only a few cases described in the literature to date.4,5 this is the first case report of ihes presented with ards in korea.
