Eosinophil cationic protein and immunoglobulin levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid obtained from patients with chronic eosinophilic pneumonia.

In chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP), histopathological evidence exists for the degranulation of eosinophils and the release of various toxic proteins. In vitro studies have demonstrated the degranulation of eosinophils in response to aggregated and complexed immunoglobulins. The aims of this study were to investigate: 1) whether the eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) and immunoglobulin (Ig) ...

A case of sarcoidosis associated with chronic eosinophilic pneumonia.

A 38-year-old man was hospitalized in our university hospital because of pulmonary opacities with bilateral hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy seen on chest radiograph. Eosinophilia was observed in the circulation and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. Histological examination revealed noncaseating epithelioid granulomas and eosinophilic infiltration in the lung. Based on these findings, a ...

Dyspnea on daptomycin: eosinophilic pneumonia.

We present a case of drug-induced acute eosinophilic pneumonia with characteristic imaging and bronchioloaveolar lavage (BAL) findings. Although not a common diagnosis, it is important to consider in the right clinical scenario, including a patient with presumed pneumonia that does not respond to typical treatment. Diagnosis is confirmed by bronchoscopy with BAL. For drug-induced types, treatme...

Eotaxin and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in chronic eosinophilic pneumonia.

Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP) is characterized by chronic or recurrent pulmonary infiltrates with eosinophils, but the precise mechanism of eosinophil accumulation has not been fully elucidated. Eotaxin is one of the CC chemokines that selectively recruits eosinophils and contributes to the pathogenesis of allergic airway diseases including asthma, but its roles in pathogenesis of CEP ha...

Elevated uric acid and adenosine triphosphate concentrations in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of eosinophilic pneumonia.

BACKGROUND Recent evidence has suggested that the innate immune response may play a role in the development of eosinophilic airway inflammation. We previously reported that uric acid (UA) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), two important damage-associated molecular pattern molecules (DAMPs), activate eosinophil functions, suggesting that these molecules may be involved in the development of eosin...
