Der Pneumologe Aims and scope

Zusammenfassung

Eine Vermehrung der eosinophilen Granulozyten im peripheren Blut und in pulmonalen und extrapulmonalen Geweben kann bei verschiedenartigen bronchopulmonalen und extrapulmonalen Erkrankungen auftreten. Das differenzialdiagnostische Spektrum umfasst vor allem allergische Erkrankungen, Autoimmunerkrankungen, Infektionen, insbesondere Parasitosen, und exogene Noxen, wie z. B. Medikamente. Des Weiteren gibt es idiopathische Formen der eosinophilen Lungenerkrankungen. Es werden das differenzialdiagnostische Spektrum und das Vorgehen zur differenzialdiagnostischen Abklärung einer Eosinophilie dargestellt.

Abstract

An increase in eosinophilic granulocytes in peripheral blood as well as in pulmonary and extrapulmonary tissues can occur in a variety of bronchopulmonary and extrapulmonary disorders. The differential diagnostic spectrum comprises allergic diseases, as well as autoimmune disorders, infections, in particular parasitosis and exogenous noxious substances, e. g. medications and drugs. Furthermore, there are idiopathic forms of eosinophilic lung diseases. This article summarizes the differential diagnostic spectrum as well as the differential diagnostic work-up of eosinophilia in these patients.
