Abstract
Tropical pulmonary eosinophilia is one of the many pulmonary infiltrates with eosinophilia. We are presenting a case with features of lung abscess in left lung field. The diagnosis was suspected and proved retrospectively after successful treatment with diethyl carbamazine (DEC). There was an elevation of gamma-glutaryl transpeptidase levels in our case, which may have a role in pulmonary infiltrates in tropical eosinophilia. |
