Fascitis eosinofílica - Treatment

Tratamiento:

El tratamiento con corticosteroides y otros medicamentos inmunodepresores alivia los síntomas, en especial cuando se inician a comienzos de la enfermedad. Los antinflamatorios no esteroides (AINES) también pueden ayudar a aliviar los síntomas.

Si se presentan enfermedades de la sangre, se tratan con base en su tipo.

Expectativas (pronóstico):

En la mayoría de los casos, la afección desaparece al cabo de 3 a 5 años; sin embargo, los síntomas pueden retornar (reaparecer) o persistir. El pronóstico es mucho más desalentador si se presentan enfermedades de la sangre.

Posibles complicaciones:

La artritis es una complicación infrecuente de la fascitis eosinofílica. Algunos pacientes pueden presentar trastornos sanguíneos muy graves o cánceres relacionados con la sangre, como anemia aplásica o leucemia.

Cuándo contactar a un profesional médico:

Solicite una cita con el médico si tiene síntomas de este trastorno.
