Acute eosinophilic pneumonia among US military personnel deployed in or near Iraq
Article Abstract:
An attempt was made to describe a case series of acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP), illustrating the clinical features of this syndrome, and reporting the results of an epidemiologic investigation among US military personnel deployed in or near Iraq. It was found that AEP occurred at an increased rate among this deployed military population and resulted in two deaths, thus patients can present with fulminant respiratory failure or have less-severe forms of the disease, both of which can mimic community-acquired pneumonia.
