| Abstract: | We report a 20-year-old college student presents with bilateral ankle edema associated with hypereosinophilia following a history of traveling in a rural area. Physical examinations and investigations failed to diagnose any underlying cause. She was treated with antihelminth medication and the edema subsided within a week and the eosinophil counts normalized within two weeks. |
