[The eosinophilic lung].

Infiltration of the pulmonary parenchyma by eosinophils is revealed in bronchoalveolar washings. Associated with pulmonary biopsy, this technique has renewed the approach to a classical syndrome. Pulmonary infiltration eosinophilia has multiple etiologies: some are well characterized (parasitic or medicinal), some others pose some nosological or etiopathogenic problems not yet clarified (chronic pulmonary infiltration eosinophilia, vasculitis of the lung). In such difficult cases, use of surgical pulmonary biopsies has to be envisaged.

[Respiratory manifestations in aspergillosis].

Aspergillus is a genus of cosmopolitan fungi with a selective pulmonary tropism. Their pathogenic role is due either to spreading in pre-existing pulmonary cavities, or to their allergizing capacity. Cavitary sequellae of tuberculosis and suppuration, particularly frequent and important in tropical environment, are elective localization for Aspergillus colonization. Surgical treatment is nowadays the only efficient one. Allergic manifestations are a more complex problem of therapy, exclusion of allergen being difficult to get in tropical environment.
