Febarbamate-induced pulmonary eosinophilia: a case report.
Subacute pulmonary hypersensitivity to febarbamate is reported, manifested by peripheral eosinophilia, skin rash and pulmonary bilateral infiltrates. Bronchoalveolar lavage showed an increased eosinophil count, and transbronchial biopsy an intraalveolar and interstitial eosinophil infiltration. The reaction cleared on cessation of the drug, and a rechallenge test with febarbamate induced peripheral eosinophilia and skin rash.
