Implication

May signal high mortality with multiorgan involvement in hypereosinophilia; leaves open refined classification and targeted therapies.

Structured PICO

P
Population
3 individuals with leukocytosis due primarily to increased numbers of mature eosinophils, cardiac or pulmonary symptoms (or both), and hepatosplenomegaly
O
Outcome
Clinical course and morphologic abnormalities

This historical report proposes the term 'hypereosinophilic syndromes' to describe a continuum of disease involving eosinophilia and organ damage, including Löffler's endocarditis.
