Core Tip
Core Tip: A 32-year-old woman with eosinophilia developed venous thromboembolism as the disease progressed, complicated by cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and bleeding, until death. As eosinophilia can cause the blood to be in a hypercoagulable state, this may have been the main cause of the patient’s venous thromboembolism. Therefore, eosinophilia is one of the risk factors of venous thromboembolism, which should arouse clinical attention.
