Overview

Eosinophilic lung diseases may be classified according to the cause into; pneumonias of unknown cause such as idiopathic chronic eosinophilic pneumonia and idiopathic acute eosinophilic pneumonia, pneumonias of known cause such as allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and eosinophilic pneumonias of parasitic origin, and eosinophilic airways diseases such as hypereosinophilic asthma and idiopathic hypereosinophilic constrictive bronchiolitis.

Classification

The eosinophilic lung diseases can be classified according to the cause into:[1][2][3]
