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.
