CEP is typically suspected in a patient with progressive dyspnoea over one to four months and a chest radiograph showing bilateral peripheral or pleural-based opacities. Dominant extrapulmonary manifestations in CEP are rare. We report a 44-year-old Iranian woman with progressive dyspnea, peripheral chest opacity, and cardiac involvement. A diagnosis of CPE was considered base on clinical and para clinical criteria.}, keywords = {Eosinophilic pneumonia,Dyspnea,Cardiac involvement}, url = {https://www.tanaffosjournal.ir/article_242170.html}, eprint = {https://www.tanaffosjournal.ir/article_242170_25e7ae8f8ff042d13b83c8e341aa0cb1.pdf} }
