| PubMedID- 24475879 | acute eosinophilic pneumonia (aep) is a febrile illness leading to progressive, usually noninfectious respiratory failure that is characterized by diffuse pulmonary infiltrates with an increased number of eosinophils (> 25% of the total cell count) in the bronco-alveolar lavage (bal) fluid, prompt response to corticosteroid administration, and absence of any relapse after recovery [1]. |
| PubMedID- 20358030 | acute eosinophilic pneumonia can be diagnosed presumptively if the proportion of eosinophils in balf is ≥25%, and it can be diagnosed definitively if that value is ≥40%.18 although lung biopsy is not usually needed to diagnose acute eosinophilic pneumonia, it can be used in cases that are difficult to diagnose, such as immunodeficiency in which fungal infections cannot be ruled out. |
| PubMedID- 24851134 | acute eosinophilic pneumonia (aep) is a disease characterized by acute onset of febrile respiratory symptoms, bilateral diffuse infiltrates on chest radiography (defined as an arterial oxygen pressure below 60 mm hg or arterial oxygen saturation below 90% in room air), bronchoalveolar lavage (bal) showing over 25% of eosinophils or eosinophilic pneumonia on lung biopsy, and absence of known causes of pulmonary eosinophilia1. |
