Clinical Information
Pulmonary Eosinophilia
a condition characterized by infiltration of the lung with eosinophils due to inflammation or other disease processes. major eosinophilic lung diseases are the eosinophilic pneumonias caused by infections, allergens, or toxic agents.Eosinophils
granular leukocytes with a nucleus that usually has two lobes connected by a slender thread of chromatin, and cytoplasm containing coarse, round granules that are uniform in size and stainable by eosin.Chronic Eosinophilic Pneumonia
chronic inflammatory disorder of the lungs characterized by the presence of eosinophils in the interalveolar septa and alveolar spaces and peripheral blood eosinophilia. chest x-rays reveal peripheral infiltrates. approximately half of the patients have history of asthma or atopic disease. signs and symptoms include fever, dyspnea, cough, and weight loss. following treatment with corticosteroids, the eosinophilic infiltrates in the lungs disappear, resulting in dramatic clinical improvement.
