We encountered 5 cases of acute eosinophilic pneumonia. All cases were young men who had recently begun smoking, and they showed an acute onset hypoxemia, diffuse shadows on chest X-ray, an elevation of eosinophils in the peripheral blood and broncho-alveolar lavage fluid, and rapid recovery. One of the 5 cases showed a re-elevation of eosinophils in the peripheral blood and broncho-alveolar lavage fluid after a smoking challenge test. It appears that one of the causes of acute eosinophilic pneumonia is beginning to smoke.
我们遇到了5例急性嗜酸性粒细胞性肺炎。所有病例均为近期开始吸烟的年轻男性，他们表现为急性起病的低氧血症、胸部X线弥漫性阴影、外周血和支气管肺泡灌洗液中嗜酸性粒细胞升高以及快速恢复。5例中的1例在吸烟激发试验后外周血和支气管肺泡灌洗液中的嗜酸性粒细胞再次升高。看来急性嗜酸性粒细胞性肺炎的病因之一是开始吸烟。
