Abstract
|
|
|
The Pulmonary Infiltration and Eosinophilia Syndrome (PIE Syndrome) includes a wide
spectrum of clinical disorders with pulmonary infiltrates and peripheral eosiophilia. It is
poorly understood and ill-defined group of disorders. Often its etiology is poorly
delineated.
There may exist an eosinophilic type of alveolitis in the category of PIE syndrome. It
shows characteristic clinical picture, peripheral eosinophilia and especially dramatic
improvement following therapy with corticosteroids.
We report a case of the syndrome in 43-year-old man with brief review of
contemporary literature.
In this case, the diagnosis was confirmed by open lung biopsy which showed
characteristic eosinophilic alveolitis accompanied by periphiral eosinophilia.
Corticosteroid was administered with rapid clinical improvement in this case.
