Arecanut aspiration: A mimic of eosinophilic lung disease
By: T. Kasthuri, N. Umasangar and M. G. Sathiadas
Abstract
History suggestive of foreign body aspiration should not be disregarded. Similarly a negative history may mislead. We present a case of recurrent chest infection and very high eosinophil count which mislead to an eosinophilic lung disease. A bronchoscopy revealed an areconut and it causes an eosinophilic reaction.
