Acute eosinophilic pneumonia in a patient infected with the human immunodeficiency virus.

J Mayo1, J Collazos, E Martínez, F Díaz.   

Abstract

A 24-year-old man infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) developed cough and progressive dyspnea over a period of 4 weeks. Absolute blood eosinophil count was 3360/mm3. Chest X-ray revealed alveolointerstitial infiltrates in both lower lobes. Eosinophilia was also found in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. The clinical picture improved dramatically with steroids. Other causes of acute eosinophilic pneumonia were excluded.
