Overview
Usually, physical examination reveals no abnormality. Cutaneous features of hypereosinophilic syndrome. Lung auscultation might have crackles on physical examination (common), with or without wheezing. Hence, common physical examination findings of Löffler syndrome include wheezing, rash, and mild fever.
Physical Examination
Physical examination of patients with Löffler syndrome might be normal, but is usually remarkable for wheezing, rash, and mild fever.[1][2][1][3] [4][5][6][7][8]
Appearance of the Patient
- Patients with Löffler syndrome might appear normal or ill.
Vital Signs
- low-grade fever
- Tachycardia with regular pulse or (ir)regularly irregular pulse
- Tachypnea
Skin
- Skin examination of patients with Löffler syndrome s usually normal. Nevertheless, patients might develop a rash.
- Cutaneous features of hypereosinophilic syndrome
HEENT
- HEENT examination of patients with Löffler syndrome is usually normal.
Neck
- Neck examination of patients with Löffler syndrome is usually normal.
Lungs
Lung auscultation might have crackles on physical examination (common), with or without wheezing.
- Pulmonary examination of patients with might be normal.
Heart
- Cardiovascular examination of patients with Löffler syndrome is usually normal.
Abdomen
- Abdominal examination of patients with Löffler syndrome is usually normal.
- Patients subsequently might complain of abdominal pain or other complications of parasitic infections.
Back
