A 74 year old man developed progressive dyspnea under treatment with the tetracyclic antidepressant maprotiline for three months. A chest x-ray revealed extended pulmonary infiltrates. Marked eosinophilia of the periperal blood was found (up to 2300/microliter). Rapid clinical and radiological improvement was observed solely by withholding the drug. The eosinophil count retourned to normal within a few weeks. The possible pathogenesis is discussed and the literature reviewed.
