Core Tip

Core Tip: Eosinophilic myocarditis induced by parasitic infections is often underrecognized despite its severity. A 47-year-old Vietnamese patient with Schistosoma spp., Strongyloides stercoralis, and Toxocara spp. infections highlights that early diagnosis via serological and clinical evaluation, paired with corticosteroids and albendazole, can reverse cardiac dysfunction and prevent fatal outcomes, advocating for heightened awareness in endemic settings.
