%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.
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.
We report the first case of eosinophilic pleural effusion induced by paliperidone palmitate treatment.
After considering other etiologies, drug-induced eosinophilic pleural effusion should be sought.
