Their paper, a further contribution by Churg (2), as well as a number of reports (3, 4) and reviews by others (5) have previously established the spectrum of hypereosinophilic allergic states that Drs. Hardy and Anderson now present (Ann. Intern. Med. 68: 1220, 1968). The variants encompassed seem to be steps of a process...References1.
