Abstract

We report a case of acute eosinophilic pneumonia associated with adult respiratory distress syndrome in an adolescent. This entity should be considered in the differential diagnosis in previously well children and adolescents who are seen with unexplained respiratory failure and who have many eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Prompt recognition of this rapidly reversible noninfectious disorder and institution of corticosteroids may be lifesaving.

摘要

我们报告了一例青少年急性嗜酸性粒细胞性肺炎合并成人呼吸窘迫综合征的病例。对于既往健康、出现不明原因呼吸衰竭且支气管肺泡灌洗液中有大量嗜酸性粒细胞的儿童和青少年，鉴别诊断时应考虑到这种疾病。迅速识别这种可快速逆转的非感染性疾病并使用糖皮质激素治疗可能挽救生命。
