Today we heard a case of a patient with 2 weeks of fever and cough with diffuse abnormal chest x-ray infiltrates and profound eosinophilia.
This differential diagnosis of pulmonary eosinophilia is discussed here. Another good review is available here.
Interestingly -- there are case reports of SSRI induced eosinophilic pneumonia and our patient in this case was on two different SSRIs.
Update Oct 2010
This local publication deserves mention -- Tropical Pulmonary Eosinophilia from Toronto General's Tropical Disease Unit.
