Literature reviews of stroke with hypereosinophilic syndrome

Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is defined by persistently elevated blood eosinophil levels and is associated with evidence of organ damage. Cardiovascular involvement in HES is most commonly associated with Loffler endocarditis (cardiac HES). Cardiac HES is typically characterized by progressive s...
