title: [Bronchopulmonary pathology with hypereosinophilia of fungal origin (excluding allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis)].
abstract: Five cases of eosinophil lung are reported in which the fungus responsible for the affection was not Aspergillus. Documented data include reports on 19 similar cases with a clinical picture suggestive of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis but with negative tests for Aspergillus. The various fungal species isolated included Candida albicans, Penicillium, Geotrichum candidum, Stemphylium lanuginosum, Culvularia lunata, and Drechsleria hawaïensis. Diagnostic criteria are discussed, with particular emphasis on the importance of the inhalation provocation test, as well as possible efficacy of antifungal treatment.
