[Two new cases of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia. A revision of the literature].
We present two cases of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia in two women of a seventy-seven and sixty-five years old. We revised the clinical and radiologic features, and their pathogenesis. It is necessary to recognize in a precocious time this entity and the utility of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in the diagnostic, for to begin a treatment with corticosteroids.
