Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia
Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia. The chronic eosinophilic pneumonia is part of Pulmonary Eosinophilic Syndroms. It is presented a 33-years old man, Asmathic, with dry cough, fever, night sweats and fatigue of several weeks. The chest X-ray showed opacity in the right hemithorax. He was treated with a...

The chronic eosinophilic pneumonia is part of Pulmonary Eosinophilic Syndroms. It is presented a 33-years old man, Asmathic, with dry cough, fever, night sweats and fatigue of several weeks. The chest X-ray showed opacity in the right hemithorax. He was treated with antibiotics without response. A chest TC showed multifocal involvement. The patient refused bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) so treatment antituberculostatic was started. Despite treatment the symptoms worsened. The Chest X-ray showed migration of the infiltrates and the blood smear marked eosinophilia. Finally, bronchoalveolar lavage was carried out and it showed a high percentage of eosinophils (over 50%). The patient was treated with inmmunosuppresive doses of corticosteroids with excellent response. The blood smear in Nonresolving pneumonia is key to consider eosinophilic pneumonia, an uncommon pathology but amenable to treatment. La neumonía eosinofílica crónica (NEC) forma parte de las eosinofiliaspulmonares (EP). Se presenta el caso de un hombre de 33 años, asmático, que consultó por tos seca, fiebre, sudoración nocturna y astenia de semanas de evolución. Presentaba una opacidad en hemitórax derecho y se inició antibioticoterapia sin repuesta. Una tomografía computada de tórax (TC) mostró compromiso multifocal. El paciente inicialmente se negó a la realización de una broncofibroscopia (BFC), por lo cual, se inició tratamiento antituberculoso. Los síntomas progresaron y se constató migración del infiltrado radiológico y eosinofilia. Finalmente se realiza la BFC y en el lavado broncoalveolar (LBA) se hallan eosinófilos > 50%. El paciente mejoró con corticoterapia inmunosupresora. Considerar el recuento diferencial leucocitario en pacientes con neumopatía sin repuesta a antibióticos es clave para sospechar las EP y realizar el diagnóstico de patologías infrecuentes pero pasibles de tratamiento efectivo.
