On an unspecified date, the patient received influenza vaccine (manufacturer and batch number not provided). On an unspecified date, one week after the vaccination he experienced malaise, low grade fever, a non-productive cough and shortness of breath. After a three week history of these symptoms, he presented for a medical examination. On exam, the patient was in no distress. A pulse oximetry measured 95% on room air. Auscultation revealed fine crepitations in lung bases bilaterally. A laboratory exam showed leukocytosis (30.6k/uL) with 71% eosinophils. A chest radiography showed slight atelectasis and effusion at the right lung base and high-resolution chest computer tomography showed bilateral lower lobe airspace disease with ground glass opacities and septal thickening, compatible with eosinophilic pneumonia. Other testing showed an increase in IgE (918IU/mL). Testing for Aspergillus-specific IgE, p-ANCA, c-ANCA and sputum culture were negative. Treatment included oral prednisolone, which resulted in improvement of respiratory symptoms, radiographic appearance and resolution of peripheral eosinophilia. A spirogram, done two weeks after initiation of steroids was normal. Outcome was reported as recovering. Reporter comments: The authors reported that as the patient had no clearly identifiable triggers, administration of influenza vaccine may have triggered eosinophilic pneumonitis.
