title: [Loeffer's syndrome: is Taenia responsible?].
abstract: Taenia saginata is a parasite of the gastrointestinal tract which is often encountered in France. Its responsibility in the occurrence of pulmonary eosinophilic infiltrates is only exceptionally suspected. We report a case of Loeffler's syndrome most probably caused by Taenia saginata. This case illustrates the diagnostic problems encountered to determine the responsibility of this cestode.
