Eosinophilic Pleural Effusion Induced by Paliperidone Palmitate: Case Report and Literature Review
2022, Journal of the Academy of Consultation-Liaison PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :Eosinophilic pleural effusions (EPEs), first described by Harmsen in 1894, are defined as pleural fluids with at least 10% eosinophils in the nucleated cell count and represent approximately 10% of exudative pleural effusions.1–6
A case of a patient with neurofibromatosis type I who developed pneumothorax and eosinophilic pleural effusion after suffering from COVID-19 pneumonia
2021, Radiology Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report to describe an eosinophilic pleural effusion after COVID-19 pneumonia. Eosinophilic pleural effusion has been reported to be most often associated with air previously introduced into the pleural space [12]. In this case, as shown in (Fig. 1), pneumothorax and pleural effusion developed after improvement of aspiration pneumonia.

2021, Respiratory Medicine Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :An eosinophilic pleural effusion, which is the most frequent manifestation of eosinophilic pleurisy, is defined as a pleural effusion with eosinophils accounting for more than 10% of the white blood cells [4]. Although the incidence rate of eosinophilic pleural effusion differs depending on the report, it is estimated that 5–9% [3–5] of exudative pleural effusions are eosinophilic pleural effusions, suggesting that they are certainly not rare in daily clinical practice. A prospective cohort study of 476 patients whose pleural effusions were analyzed showed that the cumulative survival was significantly better in patients with eosinophilic pleural effusions than in those with non-eosinophilic pleural effusions [3], but the rate of malignant etiology was not significantly different between them [3].
