12/19 Loeffler’s is another PIE syndrome arising from acute infection with and larval lung migration by Ascaris, Strongyloides, or hookworm (ASH). Eosinophilia can be fantastically elevated as seen here in acute pediatric strongy after a trip to 🇨🇺: https

4/10 Strongyloidiasis is asymptomatic in half who are infected. If symptoms occur, they often manifest as GI symptoms, eosinophilia, & a classic rapidly migrating serpiginous rash called “larva currens”. See case of acute strongy in pediatric traveler:
Notably, (a) serology repeatedly negative and (b) stool O&P positive only the 3rd time sent. Case illustrates limitations of strongy testing methods. https://t.co/UWsFXK6H9S
