Timeline. A timeline of the changes in eosinophil count and D-dimer levels with treatment is provided. After treatment was initiated with prednisolone for hypereosinophilia and unfractionated heparin for acute cerebral infarction, the eosinophil count was slightly decreased. Antithrombotic therapy was changed from heparin to aspirin preciously, but the D-dimer level increased; therefore, it was changed to warfarin. Despite the chemotherapy and steroid therapy, his eosinophil count continued to increase, and his blood results indicated disseminated intravascular coagulation. Consequently, he died on day 57 of admission
