ABSTRACT
A clinico-radiological account of 62 cases of tropical pulmonary eosinophilia (TPE) seen during past seven years among permanent residents of Punjab, a non-filarial endemic state, has been presented. In comparison to reports from filarial states, rhonchi (32.2%), systemic involvement (1.6%) and mottled radiological appearance (8%) was seen less commonly. Possible means of transmission have been discussed. This report should dispel the commonly held view that TPE is prevalent in filarial endemic regions only.
