Daptomycin-Induced Acute Eosinophilic Pneumonia: A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Pharmacy - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP) is a potentially life threatening adverse event associated with exposure to more than 300different medications including antibiotics such as daptomycin. Definitive diagnosis of this process presents a challenge given the overlap of clinical characteristics with alternative diagnoses and potential lack of awareness. We present a case of daptomycin-induced AEP and a review of the currently available literature regarding diagnosis and treatment of AEP. Keywords: Daptomycin; acute eosinophilic pneumonia; eosinophilic lung disease; acute respiratory failure; case report
