%X Eosinophilic pleural effusions are defined by an eosinophil count ≥ 10% in pleural fluid and represent approximately 10% of exudative pleural effusions. They are associated with a large spectrum of etiologies, both benign and malignant. Drug-induced eosinophilic pleural effusions remain rarely described.<BR>After ruling out other causes with a careful diagnostic assessment, we retain paliperidone as the etiology, given the disappearance of the pleural effusion after drug discontinuation.<BR>We report the first case of eosinophilic pleural effusion induced by paliperidone palmitate treatment.<BR>After considering other etiologies, drug-induced eosinophilic pleural effusion should be sought.
