A CASE OF ALLERGIC RHINITIS WHO HAS DEVELOPED EOSINOPHILIC PNEUMONIA, FOLLOWED BY EOSINOPHILIC CELLULITIS
A-68-year-old man, who has allergic rhinitis with peripheral blood eosinophilia, hospitalized because of fever of unknown origin in May 2020. Five days after antibiotics were given, itchy exanthema occurred, followed by gland glass opacity on both lungs with bilateral pleural effusions. Since acute respiratory failure developed, bronchoscopy was hard to carry out. However, this case was considered acute eosinophilic pneumonia induced by antibiotics, based on radiological findings and laboratory data. Therefore, steroid pulse therapy using intravenous administration of methylprednisolone started, and this therapy was effective. Since these chest shadows and hypoxia were disappeared in two weeks, the amount of steroid was gradually reduced, however, eosinophilic pneumonia recurred once during this course. After discharge in June 2020, this patient came to the outpatient department. When oral administration of prednisolone was decreased less than 2.5mg/day, redness and swelling with slight itch were appeared in the left forearm in September 2020. Histological findings from shin biopsy showed that eosinophils excessively invade to the dermis without angiitis. Although flame figure was not observed in the specimen, we considered that this case has developed eosinophilic cellulitis, based on the clinical manifestation and pathological findings. When prednisolone was increased to 30mg/day, these symptoms were improved, and then prednisolone was gradually reduced. After that, recurrences of these diseases did not occur during the observation period. This case may be diagnosed as hypereosinophilic syndrome since eosinophilic pneumonia and eosinophilic cellulitis caused continuously by recruitment of eosinophils to lung and skin.
