Patients
The study population included 33 consecutive patients with AEP in our facilities from 1996 to 2006. The diagnosis of AEP was based on the modified Philit criteria10: (1) acute onset of febrile respiratory symptoms (< 1 month); (2) hypoxemia; (3) bilateral diffuse pulmonary infiltrates on chest radiography; (4) BAL fluid eosinophilia and/or infiltration of eosinophils in the lung parenchyma at lung biopsy; and (5) absence of known causes of eosinophilic lung diseases, such as drugs and
