Tropical Pulmonary Eosinophilia – A Rare Presentation of a Common Disease in Tropics
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2014, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Tropical pulmonary eosinophilia is one of the many pulmonary infiltrates with eosinophilia. We are presenting a case with features of lung abscess in left lung field. The diagnosis was suspected and proved retrospectively after successful treatment with diethyl carbamazine (DEC). There was an elevation of gamma-glutaryl transpeptidase levels in our case, which may have a role in pulmonary infiltrates in tropical eosinophilia.
