Loeffler endocarditis in hypereosinophilic syndrome, the paradox of absent peripheral eosinophilia: a case report
Loeffler endocarditis is an eosinophil-mediated disease but may present without peripheral eosinophilia, particularly in longstanding cases of HES. This underscores the importance of cardiac imaging, bone marrow evaluation, and multidisciplinary collaboration in suspected cases to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment, thereby preventing disease progression.
