Overview
In 1944, Hamman described a group of four otherwise healthy patients who developed progressive lung disease, known as Hamman-Rich syndrome. In 1989, Acute eosinophilic pneumonia was first described by Badesch and colleagues. In 1969, Carrington was the first to describe chronic eosinophilic pneumonia and known as Carrington syndrome.
Eosinophilic pneumonia historical perspective
- At the turn of the 20th century, it was recognized that some patients died with bilateral lung disease that was unusual these days.
- In 1944, Hamman described a group of four otherwise healthy patients who developed progressive lung disease, and died of respiratory failure within 1 to 3 months of presentation. This disorder became known as Hamman-Rich syndrome.[1]
- In 1989, Acute eosinophilic pneumonia was first described by Badesch and colleagues and later individualized by Allen and colleagues.[2]
- In 1969, Carrington was the first to describe chronic eosinophilic pneumonia and known as Carrington syndrome.[3]
