Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia in a one-year-old child.
Although the literature well describes chronic eosinophilic pneumonia in the adult, there are no reports of this entity in the pediatric age group. We describe a child with chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, emphasizing the specific radiologic features, common conditions in the differential diagnosis, and dramatic response in corticosteroid administration, which is a unique feature of this entity.
