== Epidemiology ==
Eosinophilic pneumonia is a rare disease. Parasitic causes are most common in geographic areas where each parasite is [[Endemic (ecology)|endemic]]. AEP can occur at any age, even in previously healthy children, though most patients are between 20 and 40 years of age. Men are affected approximately twice as frequently as women. AEP has been associated with [[Tobacco smoking|smoking]]. CEP occurs more frequently in women than men does not appear to be related to smoking. An association with radiation for [[breast cancer]] has been described.{{ref|Cottin}}
=== History ===
Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia was first described by Carrington in [[1969]], and it is also known as '''Carrington syndrome'''. Prior to that, eosinophilic pneumonia was a well described pathologic entity usually associated with medication or parasite exposures. Acute eosinophilic pneumonia was first described in [[1989]]{{ref|Badesch}}{{ref|Allen}}.
