Pulmonary infiltrates with eosinophilia (PIE)

eos on BAL or peripheral blood

  • Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA)

  • EGPA

  • Löffler’s syndrome: parasites/drugs → transient pulm infilt + cough, fever, dyspnea, eos

  • Acute eosinophilic PNA (AEP): acute hypox febrile illness; Rx: steroids, tobacco cessation

  • Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP): “photonegative” of CHF, typically in women

Explain by ChatGPT

  • Pulmonary infiltrates with eosinophilia (PIE) is a condition where there is an accumulation of eosinophils in the lungs.

  • Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a condition where the lungs are inflamed due to an allergy to the fungus Aspergillus.

  • EGPA is a condition where the lungs are inflamed due to a buildup of eosinophils.

  • Löffler’s syndrome is a condition where there is a transient pulmonary infiltration and cough, fever, dyspnea, and eosinophilia due to parasites or drugs.

  • Acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP) is a condition where there is an acute hypoxemic febrile illness. The treatment for AEP is steroids and tobacco cessation.

  • Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP) is a condition where the lungs are inflamed due to a buildup of eosinophils. CEP is typically seen in women.
