Case ReportsDaptomycin-associated eosinophilic pneumonia with rechallenge: a case report .
A case of daptomycin-associated acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP) with positive rechallenge is reported. ⋯ Our case supports a broadened definition of pulmonary eosinophilia associated with daptomycin administration. It is important for clinicians to consider daptomycin as an etiology of pneumonia with abnormal eosinophils when other causes have been excluded. Clinicians could also consider peripheral eosinophilia as a possible indication of AEP when BAL is not available or cannot be obtained. .
