title: [Acute eosinophilic lung after a course of minocycline].
abstract: Acute pulmonary eosinophilia was observed in the patient after taking minocycline. The clinical picture recurred when the drug was re-introduced. However, this is a rare complication after taking a derivative of tetracycline. An eosinophilia was seen in the peripheral blood and also in the bronchoalveolar lavage. Cessation of the drug therapy without the addition of corticosteroids allowed a cure.
