Abstract (2. Language):
Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia is a rare type of eosinophilic pneumonia
that gives excellent response to steroid treatment, however the probability
of relaps is high when the treatment is stopped early. A steroid treatment of
1-3 years is usually sufficient, however, a life-long steroid treatment may be
required in some cases. In this article, we present a case of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, which was diagnosed to have eosinophilic pneumonia
in another center and relapsed however after stopping the treatment early to
emphasize the importance of the duration of steroid treatment.
