Abstrakt:	We report a case of acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP) triggered by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. A 60-year-old male with chronic sinusitis and tobacco use presented to the emergency department (ED) with an acute onset of dyspnea, non-productive cough, and fever. A diagnosis of moderate SARS-CoV-2 infection with bacterial superinfection was made. He was discharged on antibiotic therapy. One month later, due to the persistence of symptoms, he returned to the ED. At this time, blood analysis showed eosinophilia and a chest computed tomography scan showed bilateral diffuse infiltrative changes. He was admitted to the hospital for the study of eosinophilic disease. A lung biopsy was performed, which showed eosinophilic pneumonia. Corticotherapy was started with symptoms and peripheral eosinophilia resolution, and imaging improvement. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
