[Occupational eosinophilic lung in a grape grower: role of sulfites]

Observation of a patient with a history of asthma who presented a lung pathology in a context linked with the general condition, radiology of a biological inflammatory syndrome and hypereosinophilia, suggested a diagnosis of Chronic Pneumopathy of Eosinophils (PCE). The chronology of the symptomatology favours an occupational role of sulphites, to which the patient is exposed by the respiratory pathway and the reproduction of the symptoms in an identical exposure confirmed the hypothesis.
