[1] [2] [3] [5] Although a diagnostic workup has not been finalized, the suggested diagnostic workup includes (1) confirming HIV infection, (2) confirming six or greater months of characteristic signs and symptoms, (3) evidence of organ infiltration by CD8+ T cells, and (4) exclusion of other autoimmune conditions.
Eosinophilic myocarditis is inflammation in the heart muscle that is caused by the infiltration and destructive activity of a type of white blood cell, the eosinophil. Typically, the disorder is associated with hypereosinophilia , i.e. an eosinophil blood cell count greater than 1,500 per microliter (normal 100 to 400 per microliter).

Leukemia cutis is the infiltration of neoplastic leukocytes or their precursors into the skin resulting in clinically identifiable cutaneous lesions. [1] This condition may be contrasted with leukemids , which are skin lesions that occur with leukemia, but which are not related to leukemic cell infiltration.
