EOSINOPHILIC LUNG DISEASE

Abstract
A categorical approach to eosinophilic lung disease is discussed. Using the clinical and roentgenographic information, the numerous causes of this syndrome can be separated into 5 groups: 1. simple pulmonary eosinophilia; 2. prolonged pulmonary eosinophilia; 3. tropical eosinophilia; 4. asthma associated with pulmonary eosinophilia; and 5. polyarteritis nodosa and its variants. Fifteen illustrative cases are presented.
