Abstract
Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia is a rare idiopathic disease characterized by eosinophilic infiltrates in the alveoli and interstitial lung spaces. There are no specific diagnostic tests for this condition, but it is suspected in patients presenting with dyspnea, cough, a tomographic pattern of consolidations, peripheral ground-glass opacities, and peripheral eosinophilia. This report presents the case of a male patient with chronic eosinophilic pneumonia that was unresponsive to corticosteroid treatment.
