Monitoring

Serial complete blood counts to document resolution of the leukocytosis and eosinophilia, and measurement of muscle enzymes (in practice measuring creatine kinase, although other muscle enzymes, including aldolase, lactate dehydrogenase, and aminotransferases, may also be elevated) are required to confirm resolution of the disease, which usually occurs within 6-8 weeks of infection. Follow-up imaging is not indicated.
