  • Title: [A clinical study of 5 cases of acute eosinophilic pneumonia--the relationship between beginning to smoke and acute eosinophilic pneumonia].
    Author: Kawamura T, Mochizuki Y, Nakahara Y, Kimoto T, Watanabe S.
    Journal: Nihon Kyobu Shikkan Gakkai Zasshi; 1997 Nov; 35(11):1252-8. PubMed ID: 9493455.
    Abstract:
    We encountered 5 cases of acute eosinophilic pneumonia. All cases were young men who had recently begun smoking, and they showed an acute onset hypoxemia, diffuse shadows on chest X-ray, an elevation of eosinophils in the peripheral blood and broncho-alveolar lavage fluid, and rapid recovery. One of the 5 cases showed a re-elevation of eosinophils in the peripheral blood and broncho-alveolar lavage fluid after a smoking challenge test. It appears that one of the causes of acute eosinophilic pneumonia is beginning to smoke.
