Loeffler's syndrome is a rare and benign eosinophilic pneumonia which is commonly transient and self-limiting. Herein we report a 12-year-old boy who presented with dry cough, hemoptysis, chest pain, no fever and diminished breath sounds on the right lung. Chest imaging showed a consolidation lesion with bronchograms in the right upper and middle lobes, accompanied by a right free-flowing pleural effusion. Laboratory studies showed elevated C-reactive protein levels, and an eosinophil count of 13.7%. A lung biopsy was performed to diagnose the Loeffler's syndrome. The patient's condition was improving significantly with antibiotic therapy and is now followed up closely.
