GM-CSF-induced acute eosinophilic pneumonia.
British Journal of Haematology 1995 August
There is increasing evidence that haemopoietic growth factors are effective in reversal of neutropenia associated with large granular lymphocytes (LGLs) proliferation. A 19-year-old woman with CD3+/TCR gamma delta+, CD4-, CD8- LGL proliferation and severe neutropenia repeatedly developed blood eosinophilia, fever and dyspnoea after administration of GM-CSF. Acute eosinophilic pneumonia with a lobar lung infiltrate pleural effusion, and marked bronchoalveolar lavage fluid eosinophilia was diagnosed. Treatment with corticosteroids and discontinuation of GM-CSF lead to rapid improvement. In addition, haematological analysis revealed that H*1 Technicon, a widely-used automated cell counter, may misinterpret eosinophils erroneously as neutrophils, therefore examination of blood smears to prevent eosinophil-mediated toxicity during GM-CSF treatment is recommended.
