Overview

Causes of eosinophilic lung diseases are acute eosinophilic pneumonia, chrnoic eosinophilic pneumonia, tropical pulmonary eosinophilia, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangitis, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, and medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, Anticonvulsants, Antidepressants, Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, and Beta blockers.

Causes

Acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP)

Chrnoic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP)

Transpulmonary passage of helminth larvae (Löffler syndrome)

Tropical pulmonary eosinophilia

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangitis

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis

Drugs and toxins

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a drug-induced hypersensitivity reaction that includes skin eruption, eosinophilia, atypical lymphocytosis, lymphadenopathy, and kidney involvement. Drugs causing DRESS are:[9]
