Acute Eosinophilic Pneumonia due to Piperacillin/Tazobactam

Eosinophilic pneumonia (EP) is a rare and severe disease that belongs to the group of pulmonary eosinophilias (PE). There are two clinical presentations: chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP) and acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP). In 1989, Allen et al. described the first case of AEP. 1 Many causes of AEP have been described, although the idiopathic form is the most common.3 We herein present a case of AEP probably due to piperacillin/tazobactam (P/T).
