Abstract
This report concerns the clinical and postmortem findings in a 28-year-old man with marked leukocytosis and eosinophilia. Attention is called to the extensive ventricular endocardial mural thrombosis and multiple organ involvement by eosinophils with associated necrosis. The most likely cause of endomyocardial damage appears to be the associated eosinophilia, the mechanism of which, however, remains obscure.
