In hypereosinophilic syndrome, eosinophils are greater than
1500
In HES, eosinophils infiltrate
spleen, heart, liver, lymphnodes
In primary HES there is molecular activation of

the worst one to get- complicated by bleeding, thrombocytopenia, infection
How to diagnose AML
elevated leukocyte, anemia, thrombocytopenia, blasts on smear
Hallmarks of AML

Confirm diagnosis of AML with
BMBx- >20% blasts
