“…Some Authors [3,4] have documented a serum ipereosinophilia in the 40% of RA affected during the active phase of desease. Other Authors [5][6][7][8] substain the hypothesis that activation of eosinophils could be related at the presence of rheumatoid factor (RF), as it was found a higher incidence of in ltration by eosinophils in patient with higher serum eosinophilia and RF. Although the RA it's a rare clinical entity, the eosinophilic riniti in relationship with RA it's never been documented.…”

In this review we describe the relation between nasal eosinophilia and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Moreover we was performed a literature revision that valued the relation between eosinophilia in respiratory system with arthritis. We have examined, through nasal cytology, 7 patients (5 men and 2 women) aged between 7 and 60 years old, with a middle age of 38,5 years; this patients are affected by RA, members of UO of Diagnostic ORL and nasal cytology of the AIAS (Italian Association of Disadvantages assistance) of Afragola.Between them we put in evidence only a case of youth RA. All patients was not allergic and affected by recurrent rhinitis in maintenance therapy and not related with pollen calendar. The withdrawal documented the presence of rare eosinophils in nasal mucosa. This evidence could induce us to use this practice not only as follow up of patients but also as means of early diagnosis.

“…Some authors [3,4] documented a hypereosinophilia in the serum of up to 40% of patients with RA during the active phase of the disease. Other authors [5][6][7][8] support the hypothesis that pathological activation of eosinophils may correlate with the presence of rheumatoid factor (RF) since a higher incidence of eosinophilic tissue infiltration was found in patients with eosinophilia and high serum RF.…”

Rheumatoid arthritis, a systemic inflammatory disease, may induce pulmonary manifestations. We describe a case of longstanding RA presenting with eosinophilic pneumonia. Rare case reports of tissue eosinophilia involving isolated organs in the setting of rheumatoid arthritis exist in the literature. It has been shown that the production of proinflammatory cytokines activates different cell group and can simultaneously play a role in rheumatoid arthritis, and induce eosinophils infiltration in target tissue. An appropriate lowest possible dosage of steroid therapy is essential, whereas eosinophilic pneumonia may be a rare subset of pulmonary involvement in rheumatoid arthritis. LEARNING POINTS• The lungs and pleura are frequently involved in rheumatoid arthritis and contribute between 10% and 20% of overall mortality.• A patient with rheumatoid arthritis presenting with respiratory symptoms, serum eosinophilia and specific pulmonary radiological involvement, can in rare cases have eosinophilic pneumonia. • There may be an association between hypereosinophilia and immunological alteration in rheumatoid arthritis.• In this patient, treatment with prednisone and hydroxychloroquine achieved clinical remission.

“…It is usually idiopathic; however, it has been associated with drugs, allergy shots, parasites, irradiation for breast cancer, and rheumatoid arthritis. 2,3 It is a rare disease and usually a diagnosis of exclusion. 4 CEP was first described by Carrington in 1969.…”
