Eosinophilic pleuritis are inflammatory effusions containing more than 10% of eosinocytes. More frequent in men, the course of illness is acute our subacute but pleural sequelae are seldom. They can be due to all inflammatory process, thoracic trauma, tuberculosis and viral diseases are predominant. Unexplained etiology represents 25% of cases, so "called autonomous pleuritis". Pleural eosinophilia could be explained by eosinophilotactic action of red cells or by activating products induced during hypersensibility reaction.
嗜酸性胸膜炎是指炎症性胸腔积液中嗜酸性粒细胞超过10%。男性更为常见，病程呈急性或亚急性，但很少有胸膜后遗症。其病因可由所有炎症过程引起，胸部创伤、结核病和病毒性疾病较为常见。病因不明的病例占25%，即所谓的“自主性胸膜炎”。胸膜嗜酸性粒细胞增多可能是由红细胞的嗜酸性粒细胞趋化作用或过敏反应期间诱导的激活产物所致。
