ABSTRACT
A 41-year-old woman took an EVE-A tablet, which contained ibuprofen, because of pyrexia over 39 degrees C. Due to continued pyrexia, she visited a physician and received cefcapene and acetaminophen under a diagnosis of cold. However, next day, she was admitted to our hospital with severe hypoxemia and pulmonary infiltrates on chest radiograph. Analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid disclosed an increased proportion of 66% eosinophils. All of the lymphocyte stimulation tests for EVE-A tablet, cefcapene and acetaminophen showed positive. After the cessation of these drugs, she was successfully treated with steroids. This case was diagnosed as eosinophilic pneumonia caused by several drugs, and to our knowledge, this is the first report in Japan of ibuprofen (EVE-A tablet)-induced pneumonia.
