Eosinophilic heart disease is usually chronic, but there is a rare acute variety. Three patients with an unusual form of eosinophilic heart disease characterised by acute necrotising eosinophilic myocarditis after a possible initial viral infection and underlying allergic diathesis are reported. In contrast to previously reported cases of acute Löffler's endocarditis there was no notable extracardiac pathology. %U https://heart.bmj.com/content/heartjnl/52/3/343.full.pdf
