A 28-year-old Indian female presented with shortness of breath, white cell count of 27,400 with 39% eosinophils, and increased interstitial markings and bilateral pleural effusions on chest x-ray. Although the clinical presentation was consistent with tropical pulmonary eosinophilia (TPE), to our knowledge there has been only one previous report in the world's literature of pleural effusion associated with TPE. We suggest that pleural effusions are not incompatible with the diagnosis of TPE and that TPE be added to the list of conditions causing eosinophilic pleural effusions.
一名28岁的印度女性出现呼吸急促症状，白细胞计数为27400，嗜酸性粒细胞占39%，胸部X光显示间质纹理增多及双侧胸腔积液。尽管临床表现符合热带肺嗜酸性粒细胞增多症（TPE），但据我们所知，世界文献中此前仅有一篇关于TPE伴胸腔积液的报道。我们认为胸腔积液与TPE的诊断并非不相容，且TPE应被列入导致嗜酸性粒细胞性胸腔积液的疾病清单中。
