Infestations with helminths (cestodes, nematodes and trematodes) are the commonest causes of pulmonary eosinophilia in tropical countries (1-3). Other causes of pulmonary eosinophilia include Allergic Broncho-Pulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA) (4), chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (5), cryptogenic pulmonary fibrosis (6), Wegener’s granulomatosis (7), lymphomatoid granulomatosis (8) eosinophilic granuloma of lung (9), the Churg-Strauss syndrome (10), drug hypersensitivity reactions (11) and infections such as brucellosis (12), coccidioidomycosis (13), corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis (14) and tuberculosis (15).
