Idiopathic chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (ICEP) is a rare cause of chronic lung disease in children and adolescents. We described four-years old boy presenting with recurrent pneumonia and symptoms of bronchial asthma. Because of peripheral eosinophilia and bilateral pulmonary infiltrates patient investigated comprehensive and chronic eosinophilic pneumonia determined histopathologically. Other conditions causing eosinophilic pneumonia were ruled out. He showed a dramatic response to oral corticosteroid therapy. This report emphasizes that ICEP should be considered in pediatric age group on a cause for chronic hypoxemi or intractable symptoms of respiratory system.
