摘要：

A 29 year old Sri Lanka man in France since 6 months, was hospitalized for an asthmatic dyspnea with a miliary radiologic aspect and a great number of eosinophilia in blood and broncho-alveolar lavage. Parasitologic exams were no contributive but a strong positive antifilariasis antibody allowed us to diagnose Weingarten's syndrome. Ivermectine leaded to clinic and radiologic improvment and disappearance of eosinophils within 2 months. We reviewed medical literature on tropical pulmonary eosinophilia. This entity must be known, on account of frequent travels and immigration from South East Asia, to treat this disease and avoid chronic respiratory insufficiency.
