Ocular manifestations in Löffler's syndrome.

SINCE Loffler (1932) showed a radiograph of transient infiltration of the lungs associated with blood eosinophilia, many cases of Loffler's syndrome have been reported. The symptomatology is as follows: The well-being of the patient is not disturbed, the blood count shows a slight leucocytosis, and there is always a more or less considerable increase in the number of eosinophils (10-60 per cent.). The shadows on the x-ray photograph of the lung vary considerably in size, but, and this is a most characteristic feature, they always disappear in a few hours or a few days.
