Acute Eosinophilic Pneumonia Associated With COVID-19 Infection

Abstract: The knowledge about COVID-19 infection and sequelae is evolving. Acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP) is not a well-recognized complication of COVID-19 infection, with few cases reported in the literature. We report a case of a 60-year-old male with a history of an orthotopic heart transplant on chronic immunosuppression who had AEP three weeks after a COVID-19 infection. He presented with diarrhea and acute kidney injury without respiratory symptoms. After discharge, the patient experienced progressive fevers, … Show more

“…Previous reports have described cases of eosinophilic lower airway inflammation, represented by eosinophilic pneumonia following COVID-19 infection, and none of them had received the COVID-19 vaccine or had no information about it (Table 1) [3][4][5][6]. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of eosinophilic lower airway inflammation triggered by COVID-19 infection despite multiple vaccinations.…”

“…Despite the wide spectrum of post-COVID-19 pulmonary manifestations, reports of eosinophilic pneumonia (EP) have been extremely rare. Indeed, only four cases of EP potentially triggered by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection have been reported thus far ( 4 - 7 ), all of which required additional treatment.…”
