We report a case of Acute Eosinophilic Pneumonia (AEP) in a 29-year-old white woman with recent use of a'flea bomb' (containing pyrethroids) at home while remaining indoors, about 48 hours prior to presentation, and recent change in smoking habit (restarted 2 weeks prior after quitting for 10 years). She presented with two days of worsening fever, shortness of breath, productive cough, developed hypoxemic respiratory failure and ARDS. She required a PEEP of 20 and 100% FiO2 to maintain oxygenation. Bronchoalveolar lavage showed 36% Eosinophils. She was given IV steroids with dramatic clinical and radiological improvement. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second report associating AEP with pyrethroid exposure.
我们报告一例29岁白人女性的急性嗜酸性粒细胞性肺炎(AEP)。该患者在就诊前约48小时,于室内使用了一枚“灭蚤弹”(含拟除虫菊酯),且近期吸烟习惯有改变(戒烟10年后于2周前重新开始吸烟)。她出现了两天的发热加重、呼吸急促、咳痰,发展为低氧性呼吸衰竭和急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)。她需要20cmH₂O的呼气末正压通气(PEEP)和100%的吸入氧浓度(FiO₂)来维持氧合。支气管肺泡灌洗显示嗜酸性粒细胞占36%。她接受了静脉注射类固醇治疗,临床和影像学表现均有显著改善。据我们所知,这是第二例将AEP与拟除虫菊酯暴露相关联的报告。
