Overview
- At the turn of the 20th century, it was recognized that some patients died with bilateral lung disease that was unrelated to the common nontraumatic causes of death at that time.
- At autopsy, the lungs were cystic and scarring process preferentially involved the peripheral aspects of the lungs and named the honeycomb changes.
- In 1944, Hamman described a group of four otherwise healthy patients who developed rapid and fulminantly progressive lung disease, and died of respiratory failure within 1 to 3 months of presentation. At autopsy, these patients had advanced honeycomb changes and fibrosis in their lungs. This disorder became known as Hamman-Rich syndrome.
- IAEP first described by Badesch and colleagues and later individualized by Allen and colleagues is both the most dramatic and the most frequently misdiagnosed of eosinophilic pneumonias.[1]
- In 1969, Carrington was the first to describe chronic eosinophilic pneumonia and known as Carrington syndrome.
- In 1989, Acute eosinophilic pneumonia was first described.
