2024年4月10日 · Symptoms and signs are non-specific and can lead to misdiagnosis as community-acquired pneumonia or viral infection. Disease may be mild and self-limiting or severe, presenting as acute lung injury which may be fatal.

2020年4月18日 · Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP) is an idiopathic condition characterized by the alveoli filling with an inflammatory, eosinophil-rich infiltrate. Classically on imaging, it appears as chronic consolidation with upper zone and peripheral predominance.

2017年2月22日 · Characteristic imaging findings are often detected with chest radiography, and CT best shows parenchymal abnormalities. The integration of clinical, radiologic, and pathologic findings facilitates diagnosis and directs appropriate treatment.

2024年1月12日 · Acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP) usually manifests with acute onset fever, severe dyspnea and hypoxia for <5 days with rapid progression and shows rapid improvement when treated with steroids and usually no relapse after treatment. Pulmonary lavage reveals >25% eosinophils, however peripheral blood eosinophil counts are usually normal.

2007年5月1日 · At CT, SPE and IHS are characterized by single or multiple nodules with a surrounding ground-glass-opacity halo, AEP mimics radiologically hydrostatic pulmonary edema, and CEP is characterized by nonsegmental airspace consolidations with peripheral predominance. ABPA manifests with bilateral central bronchiectasis with or without mucoid …

Laboratory data, computed tomography semiotics, and clinical currents in acute eosinophilic pneumonia and coronavirus disease pneumonia cases were examined. Disease dynamics, literature analyses, and differential signs were observed.

2023年12月19日 · Acute Eosinophilic Pneumonia (AEP) is a rare inflammatory lung disease, which can cause younger adults to develop respiratory failure requiring intubation. This is an important disorder to be aware of because, if treated aggressively with …

1997年6月1日 · PURPOSE: To determine the radiographic and computed tomographic (CT) characteristics of acute eosinophilic pneumonia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve consecutive patients with acute eosinophilic pneumonia were included in the study.

Here, we report an overview of acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP) and chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP). In addition, we briefly describe other eosinophilic lung diseases that must be considered in differential diagnosis of AEP and CEP.

2016年8月12日 · The clinical diagnosis of acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP) is made in patients with an acute febrile illness lasting fewer than 5 days, hypoxemic respiratory failure, diffuse opacities on chest radiograph, and greater than 25% eosinophils in BAL fluid.
