Eosinophilic lung disease (ELD) comprises a heterogeneous group of diseases that have in common eosinophilic infiltration in bronchoalveolar lavage and tissue infiltration in histo- pathological analysis. We expose a case of 42-year-old woman who was admitted to emer- gency room for cough, dyspnea and peripheral eosinophilia, with studies of thoracic images compatible with alveolar consolidation in posterior basal segments, the lingual and the lateral segment of the right middle lobe. Parasitism, mycobacterial infection, fungal infections, on- cological and rheumatologic pathologies were ruled out. Lung biopsy showed thickening of the interalveolar septum with eosinophilic infiltration. Clinical course and histopathological findings make the diagnosis of acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AOP).
