Eosinophilic pulmonary diseases (EPD) are defined as a group of diseases characterized by the in crease of eosinophils in the air way and/or lung tissue. While a part of the sedis orders mainly affects the pulmonary, others show systemic in volvement. Chronical eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP) should be kept in mind in the existence of subacute or chronic respiratory and general symptoms, alveoler and/or bloode osinophilia and peripheral pulmonary in filtrates on chest radiography. A 53-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with on going complaints of cough, occasional fever and malaise for six months. When two-sided apical, subapical and the infiltration around hiluses were detected on chest x-ray, the case was hospitalized with the prediagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis. Eosinophilia in hemogram, bilateral infiltrative lesions with irregular contours and bilateral cystic bronc hiectasis foci were detected on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT). Bronchoscopy revealed purulent secretions and thick mucous in hibations. No specific etiologic cause was defined in the etiology, and the case wase valuated as CEP. Due to unusual bronchoscopic and radiological findings, the case was presented and discussed.
