Idiopathic Acute Eosinophilic Pneumonia

Loeffler Syndrome

We report a typical case of a 21-year-old male with recent onset of smoking, who presented with acute febrile hypoxemic respiratory failure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Accordingly, the symptoms are most often present for about a month before diagnosis is made. Respiratory signs Dyspnea and cough are always present. The severity of dyspnea is highly variable [ 3 ]. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

The radiographic presentation of eosinophilic pneumonia is similar regardless of the etiology and therefore eliciting correct history from the patient is important in determining the underlying possible etiology. [ijcasereportsandimages.com]

  • Fatigue

    Signs and symptoms may include fever, cough, fatigue, difficulty breathing (dyspnea), muscle pain, and chest pain. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

    The main symptoms of acute eosinophilic pneumonia are cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle aches, night sweats and chest pain worsened by breathing. Exam findings include high fevers and abnormal lung sounds. [apfed.org]

  • Exposure to Metal Fumes

    He has been working as a bicycle mechanic but denied significant exposure to metal fumes at his work place. He admitted working in a dusty environment but denied any history of dust-related respiratory problems. [ijcasereportsandimages.com]

  • Ground Glass Appearance

    A previously healthy young man presented with acute respiratory distress, high fever and bilateral ground-glass appearance on chest radiograph. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Figure 4 Computed tomography of the chest reveals ground glass appearance. Figure 4 Computed tomography of the chest reveals ground glass appearance. Daptomycin was stopped, and parenteral steroids were started. [cid.oxfordjournals.org]

Clinical condition and chest radiographs improved dramatically after corticosteroid treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment : How to Treat "idiopathic acute eosinophilic pneumonia"? The common treatment of idiopathic eosinophilic pneumonia is the use of corticosteroids which produces dramatic improvement of the condition. [signssymptoms.org]

Idiopathic acute eosinophilic pneumonia (IAEP) is a rare disease but of clinical importance because of its good prognosis if treated promptly and appropriately. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The relationship of eosinophilic infiltrates in usual interstitial pneumonia with regard to pathogenesis, differential diagnosis, and prognosis is discussed. [nature.com]

Acute eosinophilic pneumonia is very responsive to steroids and the prognosis is excellent. [apfed.org]

The etiology remains unknown and the temporal relationship between IAEP and a history of resent onset of cigarette smoking has been described. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The radiographic presentation of eosinophilic pneumonia is similar regardless of the etiology and therefore eliciting correct history from the patient is important in determining the underlying possible etiology. [ijcasereportsandimages.com]

Diseases with this underlying pattern have been further categorized based on primary (or idiopathic) or secondary (or known) etiologies. [link.springer.com]

Pathophysiology [ edit ] Eosinophilic pneumonia can develop in several different ways depending on the underlying cause of the disease. Eosinophils play a central role in defending the body against infection by parasites. [en.wikipedia.org]

All patients exhibit typical clinical features, including acute-onset respiratory distress with high fever, diffuse pulmonary infiltration, and an increased proportion of eosinophils in BAL fluid, but the detailed pathophysiology remains unknown. [journals.plos.org]
