A 29-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of fever elevation, dry cough, malaise, skin eruption, and dyspnea with hypoxemia. His serum levels of surfactant protein (SP) -A and SP-D were markedly high, but serum KL-6 was not. He was diagnosed as acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP) on the basis of CT imaging, bronchoalveolar lavage findings and the clinical course. He showed good response to steroid therapy and serum levels of SP-A and SP-D returned to almost normal levels. Our experience suggested that serum SP-A and SP-D might be helpful markers for monitoring the clinical course in AEP.
