Overview
Risk factors for eosinophilic pneumonia vary according to the type; acute pneumonia is related to the recent initiation of tobacco smoking. One third to one-half of the chronic pneumonia patients have a history of asthma.
Risk Factors
- Risk factors of eosinophilic pneumonia are various respiratory exposures, especially a recent initiation of tobacco smoking.[1]
- For acute type, two-thirds of patients are smokers, but there is usually no history of asthma.
- One third to one half of the chroinc pneumonia patients have a history of asthma.[2]
- Idiopathic acute eosinophilic pneumonia occurs acutely in previously healthy young adults, with a mean age of approximately 30 years, and with male predominance.[3]
