1. ED are a diverse group of disorders associated with peripheral or tissue eosinophilia. System involvement can be due to primary ED with no known cause or secondary due to underlying condition or known cause. Diagnosis of ED is established by clinical, laboratory and imaging findings 2. CT and MR play important role to assess the extent of disease and end organ damage. Delayed gadolinium enhancement on cardiac MRI is particularly helpful in confirming myocarditis or pericarditis            

• Pulmonary manifestations of ED: simple eosinophilic pneumonia, chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, parasitic infections, drug reactions, Churg-Strauss syndrome and primary hypereosinophilic syndromes – radiographic and CT findings • Cardiac involvement: typically seen as endomyocarditis and rarely pericarditis – role of CT and post gadolinium MRI • Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders: esophagitis, gastritis, enteritis and colitis – conventional radiography and CT findings Chest radiograph may be the first screening tool to suggest ED along with patient symptoms. Correlation between CT/ MR findings and the results of careful clinical evaluation may be helpful in developing a differential diagnosis for eosinophilic disease. Radiologists should be aware of these entities and their imaging appearances
