“…None received drugs such as methysergide, busulphan, or daunorubicin which have recently been implicated in the development of endocardial fibrosis (Bana et al, 1974;Weinberger et al, 1975;Wilcox et al, 1976). Roberts et al (1969Roberts et al ( , 1970 suggested that there might be a spectrum of eosinophilic heart disease ranging in severity from Loffler's eosinophilic endocarditis, the most acute and fatal form, to Ugandan type endomyocardial fibrosis.…”
