Cryptogenic pulmonary eosinophilias

Clinical & Experimental Allergy, 1973
SummaryIn the U.K. allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is the cause of pulmonary eosinophilia (PE) in about 80% of the instances. The purpose of this paper is to describe distinctive clinical, immunological, radiological and respiratory functional changes in twenty‐seven cases of PE in whom an aetiological diagnosis was not possible (cryptogenic ...

Tropical Pulmonary Eosinophilia

Southern Medical Journal, 1990
Tropical pulmonary eosinophilia is an unusual pulmonary disorder caused by occult filariasis. Presentation can be varied and can mimic asthma, pulmonary tuberculosis, or atypical pneumonia. We have reported a case of tropical pulmonary eosinophilia mimicking lymphangitic carcinomatosis.

Parasitic Pulmonary Eosinophilia

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2006
Parasitic infections, although common in tropical and subtropical regions, are prevalent worldwide because of changing immigration patterns and in international travel. The burden of worm infection is enormous and the intensity of infection is usually high among the poor and in immunocompromised individuals.

Tropical pulmonary eosinophilia is one of the many PIE syndromes [pulmonary infiltrates with eosinophilia (of the peripheral blood)]. It is caused by immunologic hyperresponsiveness to the filarial parasites Wuchereria bancrofti or Brugia malayi.

Lipodystrophy and pulmonary eosinophilia

Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1981
Lipodystrophy is a rare lipolytic disorder which may be associated with a wide range of metabolic abnormalities. An association with peripheral eosinophilia and tissue infiltration with eosinophils has been noted previously. A further association in a patient who developed pulmonary eosinophilia is described, and suggests that the association between ...

Eosinophilia in Pulmonary Disorders

Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America, 2015
Lung disease associated with marked peripheral blood eosinophilia is unusual and nearly always clinically significant. Once recognized, it is generally easy to manage, albeit with long-term systemic corticosteroids. A failure to respond to oral steroids in the context of good compliance suggests a malignant cause for the eosinophilia.

Tropical pulmonary eosinophilia

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1950
Abstract Tropical pulmonary eosinophilia is one member of a large group of pulmonary eosinophilias, some of known, some of unknown cause. The history and geography of the disease are reviewed. The clinical features of a personal series of 100 cases are described, along with the results of pathological and X-ray studies on them.
