Overview
Eosinophilic fasciitis (pronounced Template:IPA), or EF, is a form of fasciitis. It is distinguished from scleroderma primarily because the affected area is the fascia, not the dermis as in scleroderma. Also, unlike scleroderma, Raynaud's phenomenon and telangiectasia are not observed.
It was first described in 1975,[1] and it is not yet known whether it is actually a distinct condition or just a different presentation. However, it remains used for diagnostic purposes.
It is more common in men than in women.[2] Several cases have been reported after strenuous exercise.
Treatment
Common treatments include corticosteroids[3] such as prednisone, though other medications such as hydroxychloroquine[4] have also been used.
