Coming soonLoffler syndrome is a benign, self-limited form of pulmonary eosinophilia primarily affecting the respiratory system.
It develops as a hypersensitivity response, most commonly triggered by the transpulmonary larval migration of helminthic parasites—such as *Ascaris lumbricoides*, *Strongyloides stercoralis*, or hookworms—or by hypersensitivity reactions to certain medications.
Clinically and radiographically, the condition is defined by mild or transient respiratory symptoms, such as a dry cough, dyspnea, and wheezing, occurring alongside peripheral blood eosinophilia and characteristic migratory, fleeting pulmonary opacities that typically resolve spontaneously within a month.
