Eosinophilic myocarditis (EM) is a rare inflammatory condition of the heart, often associated with eosinophilic infiltration. While its causes range from allergies to autoimmune and infectious diseases, parasitic infections are an uncommon but critical etiology. This mini-review focuses on a case of EM in a 47-year-old male from Vietnam, linked to , , and infections. The patient presented with severe chest pain and recovered fully after treatment with corticosteroids and albendazole. Drawing insights from this case and existing literature, we discuss the pathophysiology, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic strategies for parasite-induced EM. Early diagnosis and tailored treatment are essential to improve clinical outcomes, especially in endemic parasitic areas.
