Löffler's syndrome

Japanese: レフラー症候群 - レフラーしょうこうぐん(英語表記)Löffler’s syndrome
Löffler's syndrome
This condition is characterized by transient infiltrative shadows in the lungs on chest X-rays, increased eosinophils in peripheral blood, and few or mild clinical symptoms that resolve spontaneously within 2 weeks to 1 month. It is also called Löffler syndrome. It was described in 1932 by Swiss physician W. Löffler, but is now classified as simple pulmonary eosinophilia among PIE syndromes and is thought to develop through an allergic mechanism. It is thought to be caused by type I allergy in the alveoli, and allergens include parasites, fungi, bacteria, drugs, and pollen.

胸部X線写真上,肺に一過性の浸潤陰影があり,末梢血の好酸球増加を示し,臨床症状はほとんどみられないか,あっても軽度で,2週間から1ヵ月以内に自然治癒するものをいう。レフレル症候群ともいう。1932年スイスの内科医W.レフラーによって記載されたものであるが,現在ではPIE症候群のなかで単純性肺好酸球増加症として分類されており,アレルギー性機序によって発症すると考えられている。肺胞におけるI型アレルギーによると考えられ,アレルゲンとして寄生虫,真菌,細菌,薬剤,花粉などがあげられている。
