Abstract

Loeffler’s syndrome, simple pulmonary eosinophilia, is defined by the presence of peripheral blood eosinophilia associated with pulmonary infiltrates. About a quarter of the patients have symptoms of idiopathic origin, although parasitic infections are the commonest etiologic cause. The clinic shows nonspecific signs and symptoms, characterizing as a diagnostic challenge. This study reports a case of Loeffer’s syndrome with parasitosis etiology and favorable outcome.
