DIP can present with BAL eosinophilia. It is interesting that the BAL in the present case did not show an increased percentage of macrophages (which were numerous in the alveolar spaces). A careful follow-up in DIP is necessary to evaluate the fibrosing evolution. In conclusion, BAL eosinophilia can be regarded as one of the findings of DIP.

Abstract
DIP can present with BAL eosinophilia. It is interesting that the BAL in the present case did not show an increased percentage of macrophages (which were numerous in the alveolar spaces). A careful follow-up in DIP is necessary to evaluate the fibrosing evolution. In conclusion, BAL eosinophilia can be regarded as one of the findings of DIP.
