CTICasesEosinophilic Pneumonia
Imaging findings
Chest CT shows mild mosaic attenuation, bronchial wall thickening, and patchy, lobular-looking ground-glass opacities in an asthmatic patient with recurrent urticaria and peripheral eosinophilia.
Key takeaways
Eosinophilic lung diseases, such as eosinophilic pneumonia and eosinophilic bronchitis, often present in patients with a history of asthma or atopy and peripheral eosinophilia. The CT findings of patchy ground-glass opacities can mimic organizing pneumonia, atypical infection, or allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), which can also cause a secondary eosinophilic pneumonia.
