eosinophilic pneumonia - chronic form

Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia is a rare lung condition characterized by the buildup of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, in the lungs. This inflammation can cause symptoms like cough, shortness of breath, and fever. It often occurs without a clear cause and may last for months. Unlike acute forms, which develop quickly, the chronic form progresses more slowly and may require long-term treatment, such as corticosteroids, to reduce inflammation. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests and analysis of lung fluid, helping doctors formulate an effective treatment plan to manage symptoms and improve lung function.
