Does anyone know what pulmonary infiltrates with eosinophilia  is?

Simple pulmonary eosinophilia is inflammation of the lungs associated with an increase in eosinophils, a type of white blood cell.

You can visit the following web site that explains everything about C.O.P.D.  It is a seriouse lung disease.\n\nhttp://www.lungusa.org/site/pp.asp?c=dvLUK9O0E&b=35020\n\nMy uncle has this disease and had one lung removed because of it and has to sleep with a breathing machine every night.\n\nGood Luck :-)

Pathophysiology: As a group, regardless of etiology, a common pathophysiology exists that begins with acute injury to the pulmonary parenchyma, leading to chronic interstitial inflammation, and ultimately progressing to the common end point of pulmonary fibrosis and tissue destruction. \n\nThe DPLDs typically manifest with the insidious onset of respiratory symptomatology, although onset can be acute and rapidly progressive, as in bronchiolitis obliterans-organizing pneumonia (BOOP) or acute interstitial pneumonitis. \n\nPathologically, all manifest histologically with disease in the interstitial compartment of the lung. The histologic patterns of usual interstitial pneumonitis (UIP), desquamative interstitial pneumonitis (DIP), nonspecific interstitial pneumonitis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HSP), lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis, BOOP, giant cell pneumonitis, and granulomatous pneumonitis are most common and are centered in the alveolar, lobular, and lobar septa, impacting alveoli, small airways, and pulmonary vasculature.

My best guess would be Mycobacterium tuberculosis.  Both C. immitis and H. capsulatum have the potential to cause chronic pulmonary disease.  Also, chronic histoplasmosis can cause coin-shaped lesions that resemble tuberculosis.

allergic angiitis is also called the churg-strauss disease.

Well, let me tell you what I know about asthma.\n\nWhat causes it?  Allergies can trigger it...Many triggers include, dust, dander from animals, pollen, leaf mold, dust mites and I read that roach pooh can trigger it. (UGH)\n\nMy youngest daughter had asthma and outgrew by age 5.\n\nMy oldest daughter began experiencing symptoms when she was eleven. (shortness of breath and wheezing, especially upon exertion) She is 31 years old now and has lots of problems with it. She has been hospitalized several times in the last few years with it. She uses a puffer. Her Dr prescribed her meds for a nebulizer. For her birthday --I bought her a nebulizer.\n\nSeveral of my grandchildren had problems with wheezing when they were infants.\n\nI didn't experience problems with shortness of breath and wheezing until I quit smoking about 6 years ago. I smoked for over thirty years. I have COPD but I also have asthma. \nWith the asthma I experience shortness of breath. Even getting ready to go to work can leave me breathless, at times. When I have overexerted myself, I wheeze. I experience thses symptoms every day.\n\nPeople who bath in perfume or aftershave really tear my lungs up. I get wheezy after a few minutes of inhaling the mess.\n\nWhen the wind blows, dust and allergens send my lungs into a tail spin. Sometimes extremes in temperature affect me too.\n\nI am on  Zyrtec (for allergies), Spiriva (a steroid dry powder inhaler), Advair (another dry powder steroid inhaler), Prednisone (a steroid) and I also have a nebulizer to use when I am having a really rough time.\n\nSometimes emotions and stress can affect Asthma.\n\nThey use to say that asthma wasn't that serious but now they know different. A person can die with a serious attack. \n\nIf you suspect that you, or any person in your family has asthma, Go to a Dr. Only your GP or a pulmonologist can gauge the seriousness of your condition and prescribe medications to alleviate your symptoms and make life a bit easier for you.\n\nTake Care,\n~Linda~

Depends on the disease, or type of disease.  Google the American lung association, they have links to national resources.  Good luck.

Your Lymphocyte count is on the high side and the neutrophil and Total white blood cell count is on the low side.  It shows you are having some chronic infection, Lympho proliferative disorders,  drug reaction, etc, etc.   You have not mentioned about the  Eosinophils. Nor the ESR  and Hb. taken. So consult the Physician

disease of the lungs casued by airborne from some1 else

chainsawoman has a great insight and could well be describing you exactly.  however in addition to her explanation, there are a couple of other possibilities but you dont give much to go on, so i'll shotgun your question:\n1.  the lungs are made up of five individual lobes, two on the left and three on the right.  each lobe has segments, which total 18.  all lobes and segments are infused with arteries and veins, plus airway channels of different names.  at the end of the teeniest airways are alveoli.  alveoli are where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide take place with the blood.  now that you are familiar with the anatomy here are some other possibilities.\na.  lesions within the air channels.  the lesion/s can be infected causing accumulations of pus.  \nb.  pneumonia or pneumonits, which can be focused in a segment or lobe thus appearing as a pocket of pus.\nc. and to be less medical, she could have air pockets (from tissue errosion) in an area of lung, the pockets are filled with pus, water, or just air.\nnone of these are common, nor expected for a young to middle age (30ish) girl (daughter, you dont say how old daughter is).\nnone of the three descriptions are diagnosable unless you had an xray. and any of the three could be associated with a variety of respiratory disease/s or states of disease.\n\na final thought is cystic fibrosis but that is so less likely b/c CF is usually diagnosed well before a child is 5 or 6 years old, and 95% of the time is diagnosed before the first year.\n\nso there is a whole gammut of things for you to consider.  however i cant imagine any doctor just saying you have pus pockets in the lungs and provide no other explanation or further treatment.

The other responses are correct.  It is a lung disease and it's also the longest word in the english language.  But, the more common name for the disease is Black Lung.  And it isn't only from being around volcanos; coal miners get it, too...

what do you mean by dust bowl era?\nthose chest diseases do not include any infection.....they are just inflamatory reactions leading to fibrosis and possible cancer....and they are due to inflamatory reaction  due to certain pollutants entering lungs from factories and else....

It is nice to see a doctor in your nearest hospital or some thing like that.\nBut the syptoms you enlisted are the symptoms of asthma.So you have to see a doctor soon. ok?? thank you.

Sorry,didn't see your question here. I will answer for all though,and let everyone know that it is a lung disease caused from silica dust,sometimes from volcanoes.

pneumonoultranmicroscopicsil-\nlicovolcanoconiosis\n\nIt's the name of a lung disease and if I spelled it correctly it has 45 letters.
