Abstract

We report a case of typical chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP), in a female of 27 years-old suffering bronchial asthma light. Although the initial answer to the treatment with steroids was satisfactory, the patient develop difficult to control asthma (DCA). DCA is a clinical situation which requires careful investigation of several potential factors which can be solved. We suggest a protocol of treatment for patients affected with DCA.
