AbstractDrug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms is a rare and potentially fatal drug hypersensitivity reaction. Reactions include skin eruption, fever, hematologic abnormalities (eosinophilia or atypical lymphocytosis), enlarged lymph nodes, and/or organic involvement. The liver is the most commonly compromised organ. We present a case of drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms associated with Naproxen intake in a young female patient with severe lung involvement. The patient's chest tomography highlights the presence of adenomegalies, pericardial and pleural effusion, peribroncovascular consolidations, and centrilobular nodules. After reviewing the literature few similar cases were found. The main radiological alterations in those cases included interstitial opacities attributed to pneumonitis. Therefore, this case study is considered an unusual case with atypical presentation of drug-induced eosinophilic lung disease.© 2020 The Authors.
