Overview
Laboratory findings
- No laboratory studies are specific for acute or chronic eosinophilic pneumoina. The usual laboratory tests include:[1]
- complete blood count
- Pulmonary function tests
- hepatic function tests
- Renal function tests
Tests to exclude other causes of pulmonary eosinophilia:[2]
- An antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) test for granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener’s) or eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis
- Enzyme-linked immunoassays for IgM and IgG specific for Coccidioides
- Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or other serologic test for Strongyloides or Paragonimiasis
