Abstract
Idiopathic chronic eosinophilic pneumonia is a rare and serious disease
mostly encountered in female asthmatic patients in their fifth
decade of life and rarely in children. Herein, we describe an 11-
year-old boy presenting with clubbing of fingers and post-exertional
cough without asthma and peripheral eosinophilia. He had had a
restrictive pattern in his pulmonary function test that showed a dramatic
response to corticosteroid therapy
