Overview
- Chest x-ray usually shows abnormal shadows that can be unilateral or bilateral. Generally, densities are peripheral and present with both interstitial and alveolar pattern (at the same time), they are a few centimeters in diameter, and are transient, migratory, and disappear completely within 2-4 weeks. Pleural effusions is not common in Loeffler syndrome, but there are reports of pleural effusion in patients with drug-induced pulmonary eosinophilia. (nitrofurantoin, valproic acid)

- Present with both interstitial and alveolar pattern (at the same time).
- Usually a few centimeters in diameter, but larger areas of consolidation are possible
- Generally transient, migratory, and disappear completely within 2-4 weeks.
