The patient was a 59-year-old woman who complained of coughing, sputum production, and dyspnea. Abnormal moving shadows were found by chest radiography. There was prolonged eosinophilia in blood. Eosinophilia was also found in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and examination of a specimen obtained by transbronchial lung biopsy revealed eosinophil infiltration in alveolar septal walls, which led to a diagnosis of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia. Because of an attack of bronchial asthma and a high level of IL-5 in serum on admission, the patient was given suplatast tosilate. Symptoms were relieved, eosinophil counts in blood and in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid decreased, and the radiographic abnormality disappeared. The patient was not treated with steroids, and there has been no reccurrence to date, one year after discharge.
