Abstract
Eosinophilic myocarditis (EM) is a rare disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This case series follows the clinical courses of 3 patients with EM. The use of mepolizumab, an anti-interleukin-5 monoclonal antibody, as an adjunctive treatment was associated with stabilization of cardiac function and improved long-term outcomes.
