OBJECTIVE: To report an unusual case of acute eosinophilic pneumonia that was associated with IM P in oil after IVF. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: Academic teaching hospital. PATIENT(S): A 35-year-old primigravid female who developed acute eosinophilic pneumonia after administration of IM P in oil as luteal-phase support after IVF. INTERVENTION(S): Corticosteroid therapy; replacement of IM P with intravaginal preparation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Evaluation of blood eosinophil counts along with clinical symptoms and chest radiograph findings at initial presentation and throughout the hospital course. RESULT(S): After the noted interventions, there was a marked improvement of clinical symptoms, chest radiograph findings, and eosinophilia. CONCLUSION(S): Although allergic reactions to IM P-in-oil administration are exceedingly rare, clinicians caring for patients using these products should be aware of potential adverse reactions and subsequent management.
