P275 Refractory hypereosinophilia manifesting as nodular sclerosis classical hodgkin lymphoma—a case presentation

The differential of hypereosinophilia is broad and includes atopy, infection, malignancy, and in rare cases of exclusion, hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). Thorough evaluation is necessary to elucidate the cause and prevent sequelae of hypereosinophilia.

P283 Pneumococcal osteomyelitis: a rare diagnosis suggestive of immune deficiency

Despite routine immunization with pneumococcal conjugate vaccines, Streptococcus pneumoniae is still a significant cause of bacteremia, pneumonia and meningitis. Osteoarticular pneumococcal infections are very rare, accounting for less than 5% of all invasive pneumococcal diseases (IPD).

P282 Recurrent candidal esophagitis in an otherwise healthy host

Candida Albicans is a yeast that naturally colonizes the skin and mucosa. Chronic Mucocutaneous Candidiasis Syndrome (CMCS) presents with recurrent superficial candida infection, and is associated with other clinical manifestations such as autoimmunity or bacterial infections. Chronic Mucocutaneous Candidaisis Disease (CMCD) is a new entity in which patients present solely with superficial candidiasis. Here we present an interesting case of CMCD.

P222 Effects of immunoglobulin e concentration, eosinophil concentration, and atopy status on benralizumab efficacy in asthma

We investigated the efficacy of the anti-eosinophilic monoclonal antibody benralizumab for patients with severe, uncontrolled asthma by high versus low serum IgE concentrations and atopy status.

OR001 Drug rash eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome identified in electronic health record allergy module

Drug rash eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a rare and severe hypersensitivity reaction. Due to challenges in case identification, DRESS epidemiology remains poorly characterized in the US. We used the electronic health record (EHR) allergy module to identify and describe DRESS syndrome cases in an integrated US healthcare system.
