Tropical pulmonary eosinophilia. A clinical study.
The present concepts of tropical eosinophilia are discussed on the basis of 50 cases observed in a service hospital, and with particular reference to earlier Indian studies. The importance of early diagnosis and therapy before irreversible damage develops is stressed. Further controlled studies in the aetiopathogenesis and clinical immunology are needed for better understanding of this continuing problem.
