Talk:Tropical pulmonary eosinophilia

Work needed
I've done a quick tidy up but there's much more room for improvement. Here's my thoughts: Matto paedia  Say G'Day!  10:57, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * It needs a better definition, more broad than a description of symptoms. eg TPE is an inflammatory condition of the lungs which occurs asa aresult of some infectious conditions or some such.
 * Expand symptoms, diagnosis and treatment sections
 * Sections on pathogenesis, epidemiology, natural history, pathologic features
 * Images - such as filaria, pulmonary histology etc.

I edited a nice improvement for this article. "Tropical pulmonary eosinophilia is a rare but well recognised syndrome characterised by pulmonary interstitial infiltrates and marked peripheral eosinophilia.. This condition is more widely recognised and promptly diagnosed in filariasis-endemic regions, such as the Indian subcontinent, Africa, Asia and South America. In non-endemic countries, patients are commonly thought to have bronchial asthma. Chronic symptoms may delay the diagnosis by up to 5 years. after this second mention of a reference.  So I couldn't post the whole improvement. Seattledoc (talk) 06:36, 9 March 2011 (UTC) seattledoc
