description A 40-year-old woman with a pulmonary embolism, central nervous system infarcts, and eosinophilia was referred for evaluation. Findings on echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance were consistent with eosinophilic myocarditis with left ventricular involvement. Further examination led to the diagnosis of Strongyloides stercoralis infection, and treatment with ivermectin and rivaroxaban resulted in clinical, laboratory, and cardiac imaging improvement.
