Overview
In 1944, Hamman described a group of four otherwise healthy patients who developed progressive lung disease, known as Hamman-Rich syndrome. In 1989, Acute eosinophilic pneumonia was first described by Badesch and colleagues. In 1969, Carrington was the first to describe chronic eosinophilic pneumonia and known as Carrington syndrome.
- At the turn of the 20th century, it was recognized that some patients died with bilateral lung disease that was unusual these days.
