  • Title: [Fever, pneumonia and eosinophilia].
    Author: Berger D, Pichler W, Savic S, Schoenenberger R, Borer H.
    Journal: Praxis (Bern 1994); 2007 Oct 03; 96(40):1543-7. PubMed ID: 17966825.
    Abstract:
    We present the case of a 71-year old man with acute eosinophilic pneumonia. By ruling out other common etiologies and by a positive lymphocyte transformation test the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug mefenamic acid was identified as the possible causative agent or this potentially life threatening lung disease. The clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of acute eosinophilic pneumonia as a pulmonary manifestation of a drug-induced allergic reaction are discussed.
