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