Resumen
Se estudia esta entidad clínica atendiendo con especial interés los aspectos de su calsificación, el papel que pueden desempeñar en ella los polimorfonucleares eosinófilos, la anatomía patológica y los posibles mecanismos patogénicos.
Por último se presenta un caso típico de síndrome de Lóffler, del que no se pudo determinar los factores etiológicos y que muestra una excelente respuesta a dosis mínimas de corticoides administrados durante un breve período de tiempo
Summary
The authors study this clinical entity, noting with special interest the following aspects: classification, the role polymorphonuclear eosinophile can play in it, pathological anatomy and possible pathogenic mechanisms.
Finally, they present a typical case of Löfíler's syndrome, for which the etiological factors could not be determined, and that showed an excellent response to minimum doses of corticoids administered during a short period of time.
