Acute Eosinophilic Pneumonia after Combined Use of Conventional and Heat-Not-Burn Cigarettes : A Case Report
Background: Acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP) is a rare acute respiratory disease accompanied by fever, shortness of breath, and cough. Although the pathogenesis of the disease is not yet established, the patient's condition improves with a rapid therapeutic response to systemic corticosteroids. Conventional cigarettes or heat-not-burn cigarettes are the most common cause of AEP among young people. Case Presentation: A 22-year-old woman with dyspnea, cough, and fever did not improve after visiting the local medical center and was admitted to the emergency room. The patient denied having any recent travel history or insect bites. She was treated with appropriate antibiotics according to the community acquired pneumonia, but there was no improvement. Chest radiography showed bilateral patches of pulmonary infiltration, and chest computed tomography revealed bilateral multifocal patchy consolidations with multiple small nodular ground-glass opacities and interlobular septal thickening. The bronchoalveolar lavage result was dominantly eosinophilic. The patient's condition improved rapidly after the use of intravenous methylprednisolone and then a change to oral methylprednisolone. Finally, the patient was hospitalized for 9 days, and the duration of use of methylprednisolone including outpatient visits was 14 days. Results: The early treatment of AEP yields a good prognosis, but since the symptoms of AEP are similar to those of infectious diseases such as community-acquired pneumonia, physicians should be meticulous in differentiating AEP from other diseases. Conclusions: Since AEP shows a good response to steroids, early detection using an appropriate diagnostic method is recommended. In addition, there should be strong education against smoking in any form.
