Abstract

Three cases with eosinophilic infiltration of fascia and muscle are described. In every case at least one relapse occurred. One patient exhibited clinically the definite features of eosinophilic fasciitis. About two cases a tentative diagnosis of Shulman's syndrome is discussed. In these patients, all known causes of eosinophilic myositis had been excluded.
