Bronchoalveolar lavage is the diagnostic study of choice to diagnose an eosinophilic lung disease as it may be the only clue revealing a high eosinophil count (typically >25% when the normal in BAL fluid is <1%). 4 There have been very few reported cases of organizing eosinophilic pneumonia being associated with pulmonary embolism or a pneumomediastinum. Eosinophilic pneumonia has no obvious association with pulmonary embolism but still could be the possible etiology. 5 At 8 weeks of life the patient had a lung biopsy which showed the eosinophilic pneumonia.
