description Eosinophilic pneumonia is a very rare form of interstitial lung disease. It is subdivided into acute and chronic types. Both types share some characteristics differences and similarities. We report two unique cases of acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP) and chronic eosinophilic pneumonia seen in 37- and 30-year-old males, respectively. Both cases occurred in the summer of the same year. There was no known association between the two patients except that they were both young males. We were able to compare the unique features of AEP and chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP) and how these relate to the cases presented.
