Résumé
Loeffler endocarditis is relatively under-recognized and can impose a diagnostic challenge. We present a case of Loeffler endocarditis where eosinophilia was associated with parasitosis. This case highlights the importance of clinical clues in a patient with restrictive cardiomyopathy, and appropriate ancillary testing which helps guide further management.
