Case of eosinophilic fasciitis during military training in a Nepalese British infantry soldier. We present the case of a Nepalese British soldier with peripheral oedema and a significantly raised eosinophil count. After extensive investigation looking for a parasitic cause of his illness, he was diagnosed with eosinophilic fasciitis, a connective tissue disorder, often triggered by heavy exertion and responsiveness to immunosuppression. In a military setting, in which clinicians are likely to encounter patients who have spent time in tropical areas, it is important to still consider non-infectious causes of eosinophilia.
