| 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- 26175777 | Acute eosinophilic pneumonia (aep)151617 is an uncommon inflammatory lung disease of unknown etiology characterized by acute respiratory or systemic symptoms, diffuse radiographic pulmonary infiltrates, and infiltration of eosinophils into the lung18, and specific cytokines including il-5 plays important roles in the eosinophil recruitment and in maintaining active inflammatory processes19. |
| 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. |
| PubMedID- 23814679 | Acute eosinophilic pneumonia (aep) is characterized by acute development of respiratory symptoms, such as cough, shortness of breath, and fever with eosinophilic lung infiltration.1 in most cases, the cause of aep is unknown. |
| 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]. |
