Case Discussion
Typical symtpoms of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis are present (e.g. chronic nasal polyposis, past pericarditis and onset respiratory symptoms). Imaging illustrates a ground glass pattern compatible with eosinophilic pneumonia and, in addition to this, laboratory findings (peripheric eosinophilia, BAL with high count of eosinophils) confirm the diagnosis.
