CONCLUSION:
The diagnostic process begins with a thorough history and physical examination. When collecting a patient’s history, it is important to ask about travel history as well as any diseases or conditions related to collagen vascular tissue, changes in immunological function, medication use, or blockage of the airway. Even with infectious disorders, the ultimate diagnosis will always depend on how well the patient responds to therapy. In light of these findings, we believe that further studies are required to determine the pathophysiology of severe eosinophilia in TB and to identify this condition as a potential causal factor.
