Chorea, eosinophilia, and lupus anticoagulant associated with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

D E Schiff1, J A Ortega.   

Abstract

A child is reported with chorea as the initial presentation of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Subsequent laboratory studies revealed marked eosinophilia and a lupus anticoagulant. No peripheral or central nervous system lymphoblasts were observed. The chorea, eosinophilia, and lupus anticoagulant all resolved once remission of the acute lymphoblastic leukemia was induced. It is suggested that acute lymphoblastic leukemia be included in the differential diagnosis of chorea and eosinophilia in childhood.
