Abstract
A 75-year-old man developed dyspnea, cough, peripheral radiographic infiltrates, eosinophilia, and severe hypoxemia requiring mechanical ventilation. An open lung biopsy revealed chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, and the patient recovered with corticosteroid therapy. Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia is a disease that should be included in the different diagnosis of treatable causes of acute respiratory failure.
