    Abstract:
    A 21-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with acute progressive dyspnea and a high fever. He had started smoking 6 weeks before admission. A chest radiograph showed diffuse infiltrates with Kerley B lines and bilateral pleural effusions. There was no evidence of infection. His condition improved rapidly and without medication. On admission the concentrations of interleukin-5 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and in blood were high, but they were normal one week later. Acute eosinophilic pneumonia was diagnosed. A positive result of a lymphocyte stimulation test indicated that the development of symptoms was closely associated with ingestion of aspirin. We know of no previous report of acute eosinophilic pneumonia associated with aspirin.
