We present the first case (to our knowledge) of acetaminophen-induced eosinophilic pneumonia. Although the patient had taken an acetaminophen-containing combination drug, Kinuya-chinnetsu, for only three days, the abnormal shadow on his chest radiograph continued for about a month. Lymphocyte stimulation tests showed that both Kinuya-chinnetsu and acetaminophen induced the proliferation of peripheral blood lymphocytes.
