High levels of interleukin-5 (IL-5) are found in the alveolar space of patients with eosinophilic pneumonia (EP). IL-5 promotes the growth and differentiation of eosinophils, as well as activating these cells. IL-5 also induces the expression of CD44 on eosinophils in vitro. To evaluate the contribution of CD44 to the pathogenesis of EP, we examined the expression of CD44 on eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and measured the concentration of soluble CD44 (sCD44) in BALF from patients with EP.
