Eosinophilic Lung Disease: Accompanied with 12 Cases.

Objectives: Eosinophilic lung diseases are a rare group of heterogeneous diseases characterized by the increase of the eosinophil ratio in airways and lung parenchyma. In our clinic, patients diagnosed with eosinophilic lung disease were evaluated with their clinical features and prognoses.

Material And Methods: In our clinic, 12 cases that were diagnosed and followed up for eosinophilic lung disease [eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA, Churg-Strauss syndrome) (n=4), chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP) (n=7), and simple pulmonary eosinophilia (Löffler's syndrome) (n=1)] were retrospectively evaluated.
